An Australian man has reportedly 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 deceased man was later identified by the Bali Tribune as Zivan Radmanovic, while the injured man was Sanar Ghanim.
The Bali Tribune reported two men were allegedly involved in the shooting, both of whom had “a thick Australian accent”.
Gourdeas Jazmyn, the wife of one of the victims, told the Indonesian media outlet she was sleeping when she heard her husband screaming.
The Tribune reported Ms Jazmyn covered herself with the blanket before seeing her husband being shot in the toilet and fleeing.
It comes after another Australian man was reportedly arrested in Bali for alleged cocaine possession.
A video from the Radar Bali news service appears to show the arrest taking place in Badung on Thursday.
The man and a female passenger were reportedly stopped by police for not wearing helmets while riding a motorcycle.
The video shows police officers inspecting a small bag, which appears to contain a white powder substance.
“Ah, no, no, no, no,” the man says when police discover the bag.
“Try it, it’s panadol. Panadol brother,” the man shouts in the video.
“Test it, it’s panadol!”
The police claim the man later confessed the powder was cocaine.
Local media reports the police said the bag had been sent for testing and the test showed the powder to be cocaine.
A Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesman confirmed an Australian had been detained in Bali.
“We are in contact with local authorities and stand ready to provide consular assistance, to any Australian citizen, should they request it,” the spokesman said.
