Four people have been injured after a drive-by shooting outside a venue hosting a boxing event, including a 19-year-old woman who was shot in the head.<\/p>\n

Queensland police Detective Inspector Ian Galpin said a group of people were gathered at the passenger drop-off zone outside Fitzy\u2019s Loganholme, south of Brisbane, about 8.18pm on Saturday when a Mitsubishi pulled up.<\/p>\n

Galpin said police would allege a \u201cnumber of shots\u201d were fired from the front window of the pub where two males wearing balaclavas and gloves were sitting, striking four people.<\/p>\n

A Jimboomba woman, 19, was shot in the neck and head. She has undergone surgery and remains in a critical condition.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Sunday, Galpin described her as an \u201cinnocent bystander\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s horrific. It\u2019s something that her family should never have to go through.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three others were injured and remained in serious but stable conditions: a Browns Plains man, 38, shot in the abdomen and arm, a Salisbury man, 37, shot in the abdomen, and a Cornubia man, 27, shot in the abdomen.<\/p>\n

Galpin alleged the Mitsubishi was set alight on Maloney Road at Waterford West, which was declared a crime scene, while a second car collected the occupants of the Mitsubishi and departed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is possible one of these persons from the Mitsubishi was injured or burnt during this process,\u201d Galpin said.<\/p>\n

Galpin said it was too soon to say whether it was related to organised crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a horrific event in a public space where adults and children were simply trying to enjoy a sporting event and this incident, it\u2019s clearly not acceptable. We will not tolerate it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking on Sunday morning, Logan\u2019s mayor, Jon Raven, described residents in the area as frightened.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has sent a shock wave through Logan. We\u2019ve never seen something like this in Logan before,\u201d Raven told the Today show.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur hearts go out obviously to the victims and the staff and the people at this boxing event.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been to one of these events before, they\u2019re [a] really family friendly environment, and I know there\u2019s lots of children who were there, and this will impact them for the rest of their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The deputy commander of Queensland police, Chris Stream, described the scene as \u201cconfronting\u201d.<\/p>\n

Raven said the event had been organised to help children steer clear of violence.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The organiser] will be devastated this has happened because he loves boxing and uses it as a tool to empower and reconnect young people who might be going off the rails, and this is the opposite of what he\u2019ll want to see,\u201d Raven said.<\/p>\n

Logan City Titles shared a statement on social media on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are heartbroken about the incident that occurred at the fight night,\u201d it read.<\/p>\n

\u201cLogan City Titles was a family event, an event for our community, showcasing local talent, hard work and everyone\u2019s skills inside the ring.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese types of incidents have no place in the boxing community or any part of the broader community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The offenders were still at large on Sunday but police said they did not believe there was an ongoing threat to the public.<\/p>\n

Police were urging anyone with information to contact them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Four people have been injured after a drive-by shooting outside a venue hosting a boxing event, including a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":939936,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,44],"class_list":["post-939935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=939935"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939935\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/939936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=939935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=939935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=939935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
