An Australian man has been killed and another wounded following a shooting at a popular tourist hotspot in Bali, Indonesian media has reported.

Indonesian media outlet Radar Bali reported the two men, aged 32 and 35, were allegedly shot at a villa in Badung province shortly after midnight on Saturday.

Badung Police chief Arif Batubara told the National News Network the 32-year-old died at the scene, while the second man was rushed to hospital for treatment.

“A shooting incident has happened. There are two victims, both Australian nationals,” Badung Police chief Arif Batubara said.

Arif said police were yet to make any arrests and that officers were attempting to find witnesses to the alleged incident.

The Tribune reported Ms Jazmyn covered herself with the blanket before seeing her husband being shot in the toilet and fleeing.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it was “providing consular assistance to the family of an Australian who died in a shooting incident in Bali”.

“We send our deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time.
