Yogyakarta Special Region Police (DIY) confirmed that they were guarding the investigation of a 4-year-old girl who was hit by a stray bullet in Ngaglik District, Sleman Regency, DIY.

"Currently, the Yogyakarta Regional Police have given attention to the Sleman Police to carry out an intensive inspection process," said Suwondo at the Yogyakarta Regional Police Headquarters, Yogyakarta, Thursday, December 22, quoted from Antara.

Suwondo said, he was still waiting for a complete report from his members who were sent to the Sleman Police Station to help unravel the actual incident completely.

"We have not received the complete data because the Regional Police have gone down, have seen, and checked the completeness of the examination," he said.

Suwondo expressed his concern over the incident while praying for the child who was suspected of being hit by a stray bullet to recover quickly.

"We are very concerned about what happened. No one wants that to happen," said the Kapolda.

Meanwhile, based on a report from the Sleman Police, the alleged stray bullet incident hit a boy, which occurred on Sunday, December 18 at around 12.00 WIB.

The Head of Public Relations of the Yogyakarta Regional Police, Kombes Pol Yuliyanto, explained that at that time the police received reports from the public that someone was making a fuss.

After police officers came to the scene, the person who caused the trouble was not cooperative, so police officers were forced to fire warning shots.

"Members considered it necessary to shoot or'shock therapy' by firing warning shots at the person concerned. The direction of this warning shot is usually directed upwards," said Yuliyanto.

After the troublemaker was arrested, according to him, at around 18.00 WIB, the Ngaglik Police received information that a child was sick and suspected of having a foreign object lodged in his head.

"Then a check was carried out at the hospital. So whether the foreign object really came from a member's weapon which at 1j2.00 WIB fired a shot (warning) or not, this is being examined at the forensic laboratory," he said.

He confirmed that the Sleman Police and the Yogyakarta Regional Police were conducting a thorough investigation to find out where the foreign object was suspected to have come from.

Although until now no member has been investigated, according to Yuliyanto, currently, organic weapons belonging to the police have been secured.

"Everything we will do to find out where the items came from, meaning where the suspected projectiles came from. The test will be carried out. It is in the process," he said.

Previously, Dr Sardjito Hospital Yogyakarta stated that the boy with the initials JM, who was suspected of being hit by a stray bullet, was in a stable condition. Currently, the girl is being treated in the intensive room of Dr Sardjito Hospital.

Dr. Sardjito Hospital's Saraf Surgeon Team, Dr. Adiguno Suryo Wicaksono, said that JM had undergone surgery to remove foreign objects on Monday, December 19.

"The condition of stable patients can be communicated and is still being monitored in our intensive room," said Adiguno.
