Jakarta School Activities Normal After Hundreds of Weapons Found

Classes at a private school in Pondok Pinang, Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta, have returned to normal following the discovery of hundreds of weapons. The weapons were found in a room reportedly used by the former chairman of the school's foundation.

Everything is going well. Teaching and learning activities are proceeding well, with no disruptions.

School activities were undisturbed, with the discovery and subsequent police investigation occurring after school hours. "Everything is going well. Teaching and learning activities are proceeding well, with no disruptions," stated the school's legal counsel, Hermawanto. He explained that the room where the weapons were stored was managed by the previous foundation board, which has since been dismissed.

So the time it was done was in the afternoon, around 5 p.m. until night. So there was no disruption to the children in the teaching and learning process.

Hermawanto added that a nearby bunker has yet to be opened, and the school has requested police to investigate it due to concerns it might also contain weapons. The discovered items included airsoft guns, long and short barrel firearms, silencers, magazines, ammunition, a taser gun, and materials for making bullets. The primary owner of the airsoft guns, Alhadid Endar Putra, confirmed they were legally owned and had been stored at the location since 2020 for the school's shooting club.

How it entered, who was responsible, we don't know either. Because it was managed by the old management who we have dismissed, we have fired.
