Bali police have arrested a man after an Australian was shot dead and another seriously injured.
The shooting happened at a villa north of Kuta on Saturday.

Fellow Melbourne man Sanar Ghanim, 34, was also shot during the attack. An image shows Mr Ghanim being tended to by paramedics while his feet and face are covered in blood.
'I've lost my son, I've lost my only son,' Brian Radmanovic told the media from his Melbourne home on Sunday.
Relatives of Mr Radmanovic's have been photographed at the morgue of a Denpasar hospital.
Mr Ghanim was pictured leaving another hospital in a wheelchair on Sunday.
Balinese police quickly released details of the shooting in an attempt to locate two alleged suspects.

The suspected shooters spoke in strong Australian accents, police said, which witnesses heard as one shouted 'I can't start my bike' before they fled.
Police have collected 17 bullet casings from the scene. Images of the villa show bullet holes in the windows and large blood stains on the floor.
Mr Ghanim has a child with the stepdaughter of slain Melbourne underworld kingpin Carl Williams. There is speculation the attack could be linked to criminal tensions in Melbourne.
Mr Ghanim has a significant criminal history including firearms and violent offences.
Given witness accounts that the alleged attackers spoke with Australian accents, Balinese police quickly confirmed they had alerted authorities at all airports and exit points from the country.
Premeditated murder carries the death penalty in Indonesia. The possibility of the death penalty means Australian Federal Police need approval from the Home Affairs Minister to share information, should an arrest be made.

Man charged over serious Footscray assault was released immigration detainee
A 43-year-old man charged over an alleged serious assault in Melbourne's inner west over the weekend was released from immigration detention following a 2023 High Court ruling, the ABC understands. Police allege Friday Yokoju assaulted a 62-year-old man on the intersection of Nicholson and Paisley Streets in Footscray on Sunday morning. Mr Yokoju was charged with intentionally causing serious injury and faced the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday morning. The court heard the alleged victim is on life support and is unlikely to survive. The ABC understands Mr Yokoju was released from immigration detention after a 2023 High Court ruling sometimes referred to as NZYQ. That ruling set aside an earlier judgement that indefinite immigration detention was lawful, triggering the release of about 140 detainees. It's understood Mr Yokoju remained in the community on a bridging visa with an ankle monitor, while the Department of Home Affairs worked on his deportation. The 43-year-old could be heard yelling in court on Monday, where his lawyer requested an urgent psychiatric assessment. He was remanded in custody with no application for bail made, and will return to court on October 20. He is yet to enter a plea to the charges.

A police officer has been shot dead in rural Tasmania, the state's police force said. Officers attended a property in North Motton in Tasmania's north-west at around 11am on Monday. The force said a member of the public allegedly shot the officer as they approached the house. "Another police officer consequently discharged their firearm towards the alleged offender, who then surrendered to police," Tasmania Police said in a statement. The officer died at the scene, and the alleged offender was not seriously injured. The visit to the property was part of "routine duties", police said. A full police professional standards investigation is underway, and the coroner will also attend the scene.
