“Those who are considered capable of providing information to clarify their case will be examined,” said Tompo when confirmed, Tuesday (16/5).

However, Tompo could not confirm when the investigators would conduct an examination of the hospital.

“We will inform the progress of the investigation (investigation) later,” he said.

Bahar bin Smith previously reported the shooting by an unknown person to the authorities. The report is registered with the number LP/–/B/V/2023/SPKT/KEMANG POLICE/POLRES BOGOR/POLDA JABAR.

The shooting allegedly experienced by Bahar bin Smith is said to have occurred in the vicinity of the Education and Training Center for the Transportation Agency, Kemang District, Bogor Regency on Friday (12/5) evening.

West Java Regional Police Public Relations Head Kombes Ibrahim Tompo said that his party could not conclude about the shooting incident. This is because there were no eyewitnesses who saw the incident and no projectiles were found at the scene.

So far, the police have examined eight witnesses for questioning regarding this incident. In addition, the police are still investigating the presence of CCTV cameras in the vicinity of the incident.
