Australian man shot and killed at a villa on the tourist island of Bali
Authorities were searching Saturday for two Australian gunmen suspected of fatally shooting an Australian tourist and injuring another at a villa on the Indonesian resort island of Bali.
The shooting just after midnight on Friday at Villa Casa Santisya near Munggu Beach in the district of Badung killed Zivan Radmanovic, 32, from Melbourne. The second victim, who is 34 and also from Melbourne was beaten, said Badung Police chief Arif Batubara.
'We cannot yet determine the motive,' Batubara said, adding that an investigation is underway. The two Australians were rushed to hospitals in Denpasar, the provincial capital.
According to police, the villa had only three rooms occupied with a total of five guests when the shooting happened. The two victims' wives were also there and another foreign tourist, Batubara said.
Radmanovic was shot in a bathroom, where police found 17 bullet casings and two intact bullets.
At least three witnesses at the villa told investigators that two gunmen, one wearing orange jacket with a dark helmet and another wearing a dark green jacket, a black mask and a dark helmet, arrived on a scooter at the villa around midnight.
Radmanovic's wife, Gourdeas Jazmyn, 30, told police that she suddenly woke up when she heard her husband screaming. She cowered under a blanket when she heard multiple gunshots.
She later found her husband's body and the injured Australian, whose wife has also testified to seeing the attackers.
The Australian Consulate in Bali has been contacted by authorities and an autopsy for further investigation is still waiting permission from the family of the victim, Batubara said.

Officials later identified the suspect as 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter during an afternoon press conference on June 14. Authorities asked for the public's assistance in helping to locate the suspect, stating that he was last seen "wearing a light-colored cowboy hat with a dark-colored long-sleeve collared shirt or coat, light pants and carrying a dark bag.' They added that Boelter should be considered "armed and dangerous." PEOPLE reached out to the Brooklyn Park Police Department for comment on June 14 but did not receive an immediate response. Hortman, 55, the former Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives, and her husband, Mark, were killed in the attack, which took place in the early hours of June 14. Hoffman, 60, and his wife, Yvette, survived the shootings and were taken to a local hospital, where they underwent surgery and are still being treated. Police were first alerted to the attack that took place at the Hoffman residence at around 2 a.m. local time, Drew Evans, superintendent of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, said in a June 14 press conference. Authorities then 'proactively' checked on Hortman. There, they encountered the suspect, who 'immediately' fired at them, Evans said, adding, "The individual was able to escape during that exchange of gunfire." Read the original article on People

Vance Boelter, the suspect wanted in the Minnesota lawmaker shootings, reportedly attended Milwaukee's Cardinal Stritch
The suspect in the shooting of two Minnesota lawmakers appears to be a graduate of Cardinal Stritch University, a private Milwaukee university that shuttered in 2023. Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were killed, and State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were wounded in a shooting in the Minneapolis suburbs the morning of June 14. Both lawmakers are members of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, and the state's governor, Tim Walz, has called the attacks "targeted political violence." Authorities said the suspect impersonated a police officer to enter the lawmakers' homes in Brooklyn Park and Champlin, two neighboring suburban cities outside Minneapolis. After the shootings, the suspect exchanged gunfire with police and fled on foot. Vance Boelter, 57, is the suspect authorities are searching for, according to the Associated Press, CNN and NBC News. On his LinkedIn profile, Boelter is listed as obtaining a masters of science in management and a doctorate in leadership for the advancement of learning and service from Cardinal Stritch University. He reportedly earned his undergraduate degree from Minnesota's St. Cloud University. He studied from 2008 to 2010 for his master's, and 2011 to 2016 for his doctorate. The school, founded by the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi, was located in Fox Point. In the hours after the shooting, Wisconsin politicians expressed grief and shock, and condemned political violence. "We are praying for the Minnesota lawmakers and their families affected by this senseless political violence and all those who are working to respond to this horrific situation," Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers wrote in an X post. Wisconsin State Senate president Mary Felzkowski (R, Tomahawk) issued a statement sending prayers to both families and calling for accountability for the crimes. "These actions will not be taken lightly, and the safety of all my colleagues, both Democrat and Republican, is of utmost importance," Felzkowski said. In a Saturday news release, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley said, "We cannot allow this extremism to go unchecked. Justice must be served immediately. We need to come together and denounce horrific acts of violence like this before they continue to take more innocent lives and harm our communities." Sen. Tammy Baldwin also called for an end to political violence, writing in an X post. "My heart goes out to the victims, their loved ones, and all our midwestern neighbors. Political violence like this is not who we are as a country. It's on all of us to condemn and stop it at every turn," she said. Ben Wikler, the outgoing chairman of the Wisconsin Democrats, wrote on X that the state Democratic party is "sending support to those in grief and shock in our neighboring state." "No matter their politics, no one should have to fear for their lives in order to serve in public office," Wikler added. The state Democratic party is currently gathered in the Wisconsin Dells for its annual convention from June 14 to 15. Boelter is listed on websites as the CEO of Red Lion Group and Praetorian Guard Security Services, which appear to be sister organizations and apparently offered high level security services for families and homes. Law enforcement found a hit list in the Minnesota suspect's car that contained nearly 70 names, according to a report from CNN. The names included abortion providers, pro-abortion rights advocates, and lawmakers in Minnesota and other states. Cardinal Stritch had an enrollment of more than 6,200 when Boelter started his master's work, and had dropped to less than 2,500 graduate and undergraduate students by the time he completed his doctorate. Like so many institutions, it struggled with fewer high school graduates to compete for, and fewer of those graduates choosing to go on to college. By fall 2021, enrollment was under 1,400 and the school had been running in the red for several years. In April 2023, President Dan Scholz announced the school would finish the semester and close.
