A dispute between four men over property is believed to have sparked a shooting that left one man dead, another wounded and the alleged gunman struck by a ute.<\/p>\n
The suspected shooter at Eungella, close to Murwillumbah in northern NSW, ended up in hospital after a situation police described as “confusing and chaotic”.<\/p>\n
The 45-year-old man was under police guard after sustaining serious injuries.<\/p>\n
With the help of sniffer dogs, a second man, aged 36, was arrested hiding in bushland and charged with murder on Wednesday evening hours after the shootings.<\/p>\n
He was refused bail to appear at court on Thursday.<\/p>\n
NSW Police Assistant Commissioner David Waddell described the incident as “a very confusing and chaotic scene” when police arrived.<\/p>\n
He said early investigations showed the shooting was over a property dispute.<\/p>\n
Paramedics treated a 41-year-old man, who is yet to be identified, for a gunshot wound but he died at the scene. <\/p>\n
A 38-year-old man, who also suffered a gunshot wound, took himself to hospital some time later.<\/p>\n
“There was an altercation between the four men … before the 45-year-old produced that firearm and shot both the 41-year-old and the 38-year-old,” Waddell told Radio 2GB on Thursday.<\/p>\n
“He was run over, but he is the suspect for the two shootings.”<\/p>\n
Multiple crime scenes have been established and an investigation into the incidents is under way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A dispute between four men over property is believed to have sparked a shooting that left one man…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":167487,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[85,67,42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-167486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-australia","tag-crime-and-justice","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=167486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167486\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/167487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=167486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=167486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=167486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
