Four injured in drive-by shooting outside Logan pub during boxing event
A drive-by shooting outside Fitzy’s Loganholme pub in southeast Queensland left four people hospitalized, including a 19-year-old woman in critical condition, prompting a police manhunt.
Police are investigating a drive-by shooting that occurred around 8:15 p.m. on Saturday outside Fitzy’s Loganholme pub in southeast Queensland. The incident took place as patrons gathered under a boxing ring for a boxing night event. A Mitsubishi vehicle approached the drop-off zone and multiple shots were fired from its front passenger window, striking four individuals, according to Detective Inspector Ian Galpin.
Four victims were taken to hospital, among them a 19-year-old woman who suffered head and neck injuries and remains in critical condition after surgery. The other three victims were also treated for gunshot wounds.
Queensland Premier David Crisafulli said he had been briefed on the "horrendous crime" and expressed the community's sorrow and anger, adding that he hopes the perpetrators will be arrested and face the new drive-by shooting laws. Member for Maranoa David Littleproud condemned the alleged offenders, describing them as "animals" and urging stronger action to remove such individuals from the streets.
A major police manhunt is underway to locate the driver and any accomplices involved in the attack.
