Twin urges support for wounded brother after Queensland pub shooting
Zachary Uchtman, 27, was wounded when gunmen opened fire outside Fitzy’s Hotel in Loganholme, Queensland, and his twin sister Amy has appealed for help with his recovery. The shooting also killed 19-year-old Vana-Reese Schuster-Togiatau, who police believe was not the intended target.
More than 100 people had gathered for a boxing event when two men wearing balaclavas and gloves fired at the crowd from a silver Mitsubishi ASX. Police said at least six shots were fired and three men were wounded; the car was later found burnt out, and investigators believe at least three people were involved. No arrests had been made by Saturday afternoon, and a specialist police unit is assisting the investigation. Amy’s fundraiser aims to ease the financial strain on her brother as he recovers.
