A man died and two others were injured after they were shot by a member of the Air Force in a boarding house in Bandung, West Java, on Sunday morning.

The dead victim, identified as Ele, was shot in his head and backside. The other victims, Supriatna and Ade, were severely wounded after being hit in the chest and leg, respectively. They have been admitted to Imanuel Hospital in Bandung.

Lance Corporal Rio Budiwijaya, a member of the Indonesian Air Force stationed at Bandung's Sulaiman military airport, allegedly committed the shooting at 4 a.m. on Sunday.

It is not immediately clear what prompted his actions. A joint team of detectives from the Bandung Police and the military police have retrieved at least seven 9 mm shell casings from the crime scene and are currently investigating the incident.

The shooting took place in a boarding house in an alleyway in the Situ Sauer urban ward in Bojong Loa Kidul subdistrict, Bandung.

Yeti, a neighborhood resident, said that Ateu, a woman who rents rooms at the boarding house, is married to a soldier in the Indonesian Military (TNI), but it is not known whether or not if Rio is said spouse.

A spokesman for Korpaskhas, a special unit in the Air Force Rio is reportedly a member of, confirmed that a TNI soldier allegedly committed the shooting.

"It's not certain yet, but according to preliminary investigation, yes [it was committed by a TNI member]," Major Rifair said according to Indonesian news portal merdeka.com. It isn't clear yet whether or not Rio has been detained.
