A 19-year-old woman is critically injured after being shot in the face during a drive-by attack outside a pub in Loganholme, south of Brisbane. The shooting happened as families attended a boxing event inside; footage showed children taking cover beneath the ring, and police say the woman was not an intended target.

Police said at least six shots were fired from a car shortly after 8pm on Saturday. Three men, aged 27, 37 and 38, were also shot and remain in hospital in serious but stable condition; the car was later found burning. At least three men are being sought, and investigators are examining whether the attack was planned, while saying its motive is not yet known.

  • Police are seeking at least three men and investigating the motive.

Explained simply

Loganholme is a suburb south of Brisbane in Queensland. Pubs sometimes host boxing events that draw families and other local spectators, so an attack outside one can put people nearby at risk as well as those directly involved.

Police say the shooting came from a car and that the injured woman was not the intended target. They are seeking several men and investigating whether the attack was planned, but have not established a motive; those details matter to understanding who was at risk and what led to the violence.
