The NTT Police Chief Inspector General Johnis Asadoma emphasized that the shooting of a member of the Southwest Sumba Police was not a shootout. "It is true that a member was shot, but it was not because of gunfire, but purely an accident," he told reporters in Kupang, Antara, Wednesday, December 14 evening. This was conveyed because information circulated in the community that there was a shootout between two police personnel in SBD which resulted in a police officer named Aipda Benyamin Anamesa being rushed to the hospital. Johni said that Aipda Benjamin's shot was purely due to the negligence of members while chasing the perpetrator who was drunk and throwing people and passing vehicles. The former Head of the Hubinter Division at the National Police Headquarters assessed that the negligence occurred because it was possible that his colleague, Aipda BBA, forgot to empty the weapons so that they erupted. The Head of Public Relations of the NTT Police, Kombes Ariasandy, added that currently Aipda Benyamin Anamesa is still being treated by doctors at the Waikabubak Hospital, West Sumba Regency. "The handling of the doctors at the Waikabubak Hospital was carried out by projectiles, but it was not visible, so they were referred to the Waingapu Hospital, East Sumba Regency," said the Head of Public Relations. However, due to serious injuries and need further treatment, the victim was referred to the Umbu Rarameha Waingapu Hospital, East Sumba Regency. "The victim is planned to be referred to Denpasar, Bali, again," he added. Meanwhile, Aipda BBA is currently undergoing examination by Propam officers from the Southwest Sumba Police.
