According to the police’s statement, Rizieq's followers drove in close heels to the cars of the Jakarta Police officers. They were then also abruptly stopped by FPI members in two cars.
When the incident occurred, the FPI members pointed firearms, samurai, and sickles at the police officers, it noted.
The officers, sensing a threat to their lives, immediately took measurable and decisive actions, leading to six FPI members dying of wound shots, while four others fled, the police reported.
