Gunman opens fire on man in tourist strip
5 December 2010 By Dan Knowles

GUNMAN is being hunted in busy Surfers Paradise after a man was shot in the chest.

Police said the man, 42, was shot in the chest in a park on the Esplanade in Surfers Paradise shortly after 9pm last night.

A police spokesman said officers had cordoned off several streets along the Esplanade and were hunting for the gunman.

The road runs between the beach and apartment complexes.

Police believe the man was gunned down in the park but the cause of the dispute or the weapon used remained unknown.

They are combing through CCTV footage of the area, confident they would find the shooter.

Ambulance officers said the man was treated at the scene before being taken to the Gold Coast Hospital in a stable condition.

Man shot at Surfers

Police are hunting a BMW driver who may have been responsible for two drive-by shootings on the Gold Coast.

The driver allegedly fired a shot through another car’s rear passenger window, on the Pacific Motorway near Oxenford.

The drive-by shooting happened about 8pm (AEST) on Saturday.

Shattered glass cut the female passenger while the driver was uninjured.

Police say the man driving the black BMW was in his late 20s, of European appearance with olive skin and skinny build.

His dark hair was said to be in a bun or pony tail.

Meanwhile in a separate shooting on the Gold Coast, a man in his 40s was wounded, at 9pm (AEST), while walking with a group of friends along the Esplanade at Surfers Paradise.

Paramedics took him to Gold Coast Hospital in a serious but stable condition.

Police have not ruled out that the shootings could be linked.

Anyone with information which could assist police with their investigations into either of the shooting incidents should contact Crime Stoppers anonymously via 1800 333 000 or crimestoppers.com.au 24hrs a day.
