Police still hunting two gunmen after incidents in southeast Qld

Police are still hunting two shooters who fired weapons in separate incidents across southeast Queensland on Thursday morning, leaving one man in hospital.

Initial investigations suggest a 31-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to his upper body during an incident at a property at Lockyer Valley in the state’s southeast just before 6am.

A Queensland Ambulance Service spokeswoman said the man was transported to Princess Alexandra Hospital in a stable condition.

Police believe the shooter fled the scene shortly before officers arrived.

The incident occurred only hours after a firearm was discharged during a home invasion at Deagon, in Brisbane’s north.

An unknown offender forced their way into the Edith St home after midnight and was confronted by the male and female occupants, according to a Queensland Police statement.

“During the confrontation, the offender discharged their firearm towards a kitchen chair and the occupants hid,” a police spokesperson said.

“Nothing was stolen and investigations are ongoing to determine whether the victims and offender were known to each other.”

Police say the shooter fled in a white Subaru Outback toward Rainbow Street, Sandgate.

Neither occupant of the house was physically injured.

Queensland Police confirmed no arrests had been made as of midday Thursday.

Crime scenes have been established at both properties and police are asking anyone with information to come forward.
