Jakarta (B2B) - Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) prihatin atas kasus penembakan terhadap Bripka Sukardi di Kuningan Jakarta, Selasa malam. Pemerintah menyampaikan rasa belasungkawa kepada keluarga korban atas tragedi tersebut.
"Beliau telah ketahui insiden semalam. Sangat menyesalkan insiden itu terjadi. Menko Polhukam saya kira telah sampaikan pernyataan resmi mewakili pemerintah. Pemerintah juga menyesalkan hal itu, turut berduka pada keluarga korban," ungkap Juru Bicara Presiden, Julian Aldrin Pasha di Jakarta, Rabu (11/9).
SBY juga memerintahkan kepada aparat kepolisian untuk menindaklanjuti dan mengejar pelaku penembakan tersebut. Dengan demikian, motif dari aksi-aksi serupa yang terjadi sebelumnya bisa segera terungkap.
"Meskipun Kapolri belum sampaikan secara langsung soal semalam, tapi beberapa waktu terakhir insiden yang sama juga terjadi, menyerang polisi. Pada saat itu presiden sudah instruksikan agar kapolri tetap jalankan tugas, untuk keamanan dan ketertiban masyarakat sebagaimana tugas Polri. Sehingga keamanan tidak terusik," tandasnya.
Julian menambahkan, pemerintah saat ini menyerahkan sepenuhnya proses pengungkapan kasus tersebut kepada polisi. Termasuk berkoordinasi dengan TNI dan Badan Intelijen Nasional (BIN).
"Sementara ini, kan polisi sedang bekerja, tentu kantor Polhukam juga kerja sama dengan kepolisian, koordinasi dengan BIN untuk ungkap motif penembakan. Kita tunggu penjelasan kepolisian," pungkasnya.

"He knows about the incident that occurred last night and has deplored it. The coordinating minister for political, security and legal affairs, I think, has issued a formal statement about it, representing the government. The government has deplored the incident and sent his condolences to his family," presidential spokesman Julian Aldrin Pasah said on Wednesday.
He said the head of state has urged the national police chief, together with his men, to continue their tasks in maintaining order and security.

At the time. the president also ordered the national police chief to continue his tasks to assure public security," he said.
He said "the police is still working right now and certainly, the office of the coordinating minister for political, security and legal affairs in cooperation with the police and the State Intelligence Agency will also work to uncover their motive. Let us just wait for the police`s statement about it," he said.
A police officer was shot dead on Tuesday night on Jalan Rasuna Said while escorting trucks carrying construction project materials.
