Earlier there had been shootings in the PT Freeport Indonesia area. A man is lying with a number of bullet wounds on the Jalan Tambang Mile 61.7 in the area of ​​PT Freeport Indonesia, Mimika, Papua, Thursday (05/21/2020) afternoon. The man was found by a bus driver who happened to be passing by.

Seeing this, he then reported it to the security forces. Shortly afterwards medical officers along with ambulances from Tembagapura Hospital arrived at the scene. Medical action is then performed on the victim.

Furthermore, the victim was taken to Tembagapura Hospital to undergo treatment due to a gunshot wound to the back, neck and lower abdomen. Papua Police Chief Inspector General Paulus Waterpauw said the victim was safe, although there were a number of gunshot wounds.

According to Paulus, his party was still investigating the incident, whether the victim was confronted by an armed criminal group or had other motives. Paulus also reminded residents who used to do gold panning activities traditionally in the area of ​​PT Freeport Indonesia, not to enter the area.

This is because the KKB has stated that the PT Freeport Indonesia area is an area of ​​war against the TNI-Polri apparatus. "The KKB has declared the area the location of the war. So miners do not enter the area," Paulus said.
