A young woman is fighting for her life and three men are in serious conditions after they were wounded in a drive-by shooting outside a boxing event in Brisbane.<\/p>\n
Shots were fired outside Fitzy’s Hotel in Loganholme, south of Brisbane, just after 8pm on Saturday (local time), when a boxing meet for Logan City Titles was taking place.<\/p>\n
A 19-year-old woman was taken to hospital, where she remains in a critical condition.<\/p>\n
Three men, aged 27, 37 and 38, are also recovering in hospital in serious but stable conditions.<\/p>\n
Police said the vehicle involved was seen leaving the scene.<\/p>\n
A major police response was seen outside the venue on Saturday night and into the early hours of Sunday.<\/p>\n
Bullet holes were visible on the outside of the building, while there were reports of a burnt-out car being found about 12km from the scene.<\/p>\n
Logan City Titles said they were heartbroken and “praying for full recoveries” for those injured in the shooting.<\/p>\n
“As a team, we are working through it and dealing with the emotions that come with this,” the event organisers said in a statement on Sunday.<\/p>\n
“Right now our thoughts go out to the victims and all that were affected.”<\/p>\n
The community was on high alert following the incident, locals said.<\/p>\n
“We’ve never seen anything like this in Logan,” mayor Jon Raven said in a social media post on Sunday.<\/p>\n
“Everyone there will be processing trauma, especially the kids.<\/p>\n
“If you know someone who was (at) Fitzy’s last night, please wrap your arms around them and make sure they know the community is thinking of them.”<\/p>\n
Police said there was not believed to be any ongoing threat to the public.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact police as the search for the shooter continues.<\/p>\n
Police will address the media later on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A young woman is fighting for her life and three men are in serious conditions after they were…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":939946,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,8513,85],"class_list":["post-939945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-crime-and-justice","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939945","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=939945"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939945\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/939946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=939945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=939945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=939945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
