JAKARTA: A woman was shot in the abdomen by a thief Thursday morning before a crowd of women buying vegetables.
Ilma Djubaedah, 50, was shopping at a vendor's cart in North Jakarta's Kelapa Gading Timur when a man on a motorbike stopped and pretended to buy vegetables, her husband Ebo Rusbana (51) told kompas.com.
The man suddenly grabbed Ilma's 20-gram gold necklace, while she tried to fend him off. The thief then took out a pistol and shot the woman in the stomach before making off with her necklace. --JP
