Narrative:
Gunmen fired on a Trigana Air de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter 300 after it landed at Mulia Airport - WAJM, Puncak Jaya regency, Papua, killing one passenger and wounding four people including both pilots, a female passenger and a four-year-old boy, police and a district official said.
The pilots lost control after getting hurt, and the aircraft ran into an airport building.

Sunday's incident is the latest in a spate of gun attacks in the region, some of them near US mining giant Freeport McMoRan's Grasberg gold and copper mine, which suspended operations in February after a three-month strike by workers.
