UPDATE: A couple was shot early this morning during a violent home invasion in Rochedale, a suburb of Brisbane. The incident occurred just after 4:30 AM on Fisher Street, leaving both victims, aged in their 30s, with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Authorities report that two male suspects attempted to break into the couple’s home, leading to the shocking gunfire. The victims were promptly transported to Princess Alexandra Hospital, where they are currently receiving treatment.
The two assailants reportedly fled the scene on foot, prompting a swift police response. The area has been cordoned off as a crime scene, with law enforcement actively investigating the incident. Police urge anyone with information or relevant CCTV or dashcam footage to come forward.
In an alarming twist, the gunfire coincided with the discovery of a body with “critical injuries” approximately 15 kilometers away in West End, triggering a separate murder investigation.
Officials from the Queensland Police Service (QPS) are working diligently to piece together the events surrounding both incidents. This developing story raises serious concerns about safety in the area and the potential links between the two violent events.
As investigations continue, residents are advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. Stay tuned for further updates as this story unfolds.
