Apologies for the link being in Indonesian.
It seems someone has been shooting people in the Chinatown area of Magelang, Central Java.
Whoever it is, and whatever their pathetic reason, these amateurs are using air weapons so there are injuries, but no deaths so far.
However, a powerful air rifle is capable of inflicting serious injury at close range or with a lucky shot, so care is strongly advised if you're in that area.
In the event of a shooting incident, move quickly in order to make it difficult to aim, and try to find cover from where the fire is most likely to be coming from. Even a very simple barrier such as thin wood or even heavy cloth will protect you from such a weapon.

The police are hunting the criminals.
