why the shock??? gang violence in an inherent part of most if not all cities - albeit there are few with direct affiliation to the ruling military (oops)

Apparently , some grass from Lampung have reached the police headquarters. Next thing we will hear is that a guy looking like Tom Cruise in Samurai has been seen at the hospital

M3mPHis...perhaps so but your imagination is running wild. This may be an isolated local incident. How many useless daily criminal events we hear that can appear out nowhere in some big or least expected infested crime cities in the US. Gang related crimes are a nuisance to the public in general.

"It is unclear how the attackers managed to get inside the hospital complex as it is usually guarded by military personnel."

Gee... let me think. Could it be that they were busy spending the money they just earned to *not* be there?

Aaaaaahhhh! Jakarta.

A group of armed assailants attacked mourners at Gatot Subroto Army Hospital in Central Jakarta on Thursday morning, leaving two dead and another four injured.

Witnesses said that family members and friends were mourning a 43-year old man from Kampung Ambon, West Jakarta, at the hospital’s funeral home at 1 a.m.

“Suddenly, dozens of taxis arrived and surrounded the funeral home,” Kei Sirken, one of the victim’s family members, told Beritasatu.com.

“They went inside the funeral home, closed the doors and immediately attacked with machetes and samurai swords. It was horrible,” he added.

Central Jakarta Police Chief Sr. Comr. Anesta Romano Yoyol believed a group of about 100 people were involved in the attack.

“The attack lasted for half an hour, two died on the spot,” Anesta said, adding that the bodies were taken to Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM) for autopsies.

Anesta said police arrested three of the attackers at midday.

“So far the motive is revenge. Both groups were known to have been involved in drug-related activities.”

Senen Police Chief Comr. Iman Zebua told detik.com that a woman with a physical appearance resembling Uma Thurman’s bride character in the Kill Bill movies was seen at the scene.

“One of the attackers was identified as female, thin, tall, blonde hair,” Imam said.

It is unclear how the attackers managed to get inside the hospital complex as it is usually guarded by military personnel.

The story is developing.
