Two gunmen sought after shooting at Loganholme boxing event leaves four injured

Resumen

Police are searching for two suspects after a shooting at a community boxing night in Loganholme injured a 19-year-old woman and three men, with the woman in critical condition.

Police are appealing for information to locate two men who opened fire at a boxing fundraiser at Fitzy’s Loganholme in Queensland on Saturday night, injuring four people. The attack occurred at about 8:15 p.m. as families and patrons gathered for the event.

A 19-year-old woman, who was preparing to step into the ring, was hit in the head and neck and remains in critical condition after emergency surgery. Three male victims, aged 27, 37 and 38, were treated for serious injuries but are now in stable condition.

"Nineteen! A 19-year-old female who is a local woman," Chief Superintendent Mel Adams said, adding that families of all victims are distraught and the community is questioning how the incident could happen.

Logan Mayor Jon Raven described the shooting as "the most cowardly kind of attack" and noted that children had been present earlier in the venue.

Police said a Mitsubishi carrying two men wearing balaclavas entered the drop-off area before multiple shots were fired, suggesting a targeted assault. Two burnt-out vehicles have been seized from separate suburbs as part of the investigation.

A community support hub will operate at the Logan Hyperdome from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow, offering assistance from Lifeline and victim-support agencies. The event, organized by Logan City Titles, was intended to raise funds for local boxers competing in championships.

Authorities urge anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
