Vana-Reese Schuster-Togiatau, 19, remains in a critical condition after being shot in the head and neck on Saturday.\u00a0TikTok<\/p>\n

The young woman was seen in social media footage dancing and laughing with her boyfriend just hours before the horror shooting unfolded.<\/p>\n

Schuster-Togiatu was spending the evening at a boxing event at the pub when shots rang out about 8.15pm.<\/p>\n

Police were quick to label her an innocent bystander who was caught in the crossfire.<\/p>\n

But the motivation behind the shooting remains unclear.<\/p>\n

Chief Superintendent Mel Adams on Monday said the young woman\u2019s family was \u201cdistraught\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe families of the other victims are distraught,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe wider community is questioning how can this happen in Logan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a popular local pub, a well-respected institution. That location had children, teenagers, mums and dads at that sporting event.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the other victims were three men aged 27, 37, and 38.<\/p>\n

They remain in a serious but stable condition.<\/p>\n

Schuster-Togiatau shared footage to social media dancing happily with her boyfriend just hours before the shooting.\u00a0TikTok<\/p>\n

Adams said the \u201cpopular … well-respected\u201d pub had been full of families enjoying the event as well as other patrons.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat location has children, teenagers, mums and dads at that sporting event,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of those persons – not just the primary victims, all of those persons – will walk away from that incident with some form of trauma.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a plea to the public for information, Adams said police needed help to track down the gunmen responsible.<\/p>\n

She said it was \u201ctime for community to come together and step up\u201d, before praising the \u201cextraordinary uplift\u201d of people who wanted to help.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can tell you we will solve this crime. We absolutely will,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n

Four people are in hospital after a shooting in Logan, Queensland.\u00a0Today<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be people out there who know who did this or suspect who did this.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to hear from you.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are not sure if you want to tell us about it because it could be nothing. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn isolation it might seem like nothing, but when you tell us, it adds to quite a comprehensive and growing intelligence picture and we need that information from you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police earlier said a Mitsubishi carrying two men wearing balaclavas had entered the drop-off area and multiple shots rang out in what they believe was a targeted attack.<\/p>\n

Logan Mayor Jon Raven said the 19-year-old was one of the participants in the event and was preparing for her turn in the ring when she was shot.<\/p>\n

She is believed to have been an innocent bystander.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Police are searching for two attackers.\u00a09News<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just incredibly tragic that somebody so young has been injured so badly,\u201d Raven told Today.<\/p>\n

Police are now searching for the two men involved, and two burnt-out vehicles have been seized from separate suburbs.<\/p>\n

A community hub will be set up at the Logan Hyperdome tomorrow from 9am-5pm with representatives from Lifeline and victim support agencies.<\/p>\n

The boxing event, organised by Logan City Titles, was meant to raise funds to help competitors compete for championships, Raven said.<\/p>\n

He said the organisers were community-minded people who allowed many would-be boxers to train for free at their facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are heartbroken about the incident that occurred at the fight night,\u201d Logan City Titles said in a post online.<\/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

Raven called it \u201cthe most cowardly kind of attack\u201d, noting that young children had been in and around the ring earlier.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not \u2018targeted\u2019 when you\u2019re spraying bullets into a crowd,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
