Earlier this year, a separate shooting occurred in Brisbane. On September 9, a man was shot by police during a response to a house fire in Wynnum West, about 13 km east of Brisbane’s center. He was immediately treated and sent to hospital with a life‑threatening abdominal gunshot wound. Queensland Police reported no officers or other civilians were hurt and said the public was not at risk. The fire was extinguished and the scene is under investigation.
In Melbourne on September 7, a 26‑year‑old man was shot by an unknown assailant in a vehicle while standing with friends on a corner in the central business district. He was brought to a hospital by his friends but died from his injuries soon after.
These incidents highlight a worrying rise in gun violence across Australia. Police are urging anyone with information about the shootings to come forward and remain vigilant in communities.
