Man shot dead, many injured after wild brawl at North Booval

WARNING: GRAPHIC. Shocking video has emerged of a wild, fatal suburban brawl west of Brisbane, showing a man being knocked down by a car.

Dramatic footage has surfaced online of the moment a man was struck by a car during a mass brawl on a suburban Ipswich street that left one man dead from gunshot wounds.

Four men were rushed to hospital after the shocking incident at North Booval, however a 31-year-old died on arrival at Ipswich Hospital. Three people, including a teenage boy, have been charged with his murder after he suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

Another man was also taken to Ipswich Hospital in a serious but stable condition following injuries believed to be sustained from a bat.

In the video, a shirtless man and two others are carrying what appears to be weapons as they walk along the street.

Out of frame, a vehicle can be heard accelerating in the background before someone yells “bro, watch the car”.

Two of the men run onto the footpath seconds before a loud bang and scream can be heard as the silver SUV hits the shirtless man.

He momentarily rolls on the ground before jumping up and chases the vehicle, which appeared to stop before speeding off.

Three men are seen walking through the residential street as a car approaches.

A silver car strikes one of the men as it speeds through.

The shirtless man is sent rolling onto the ground after the impact.

The man is later seen getting to his feet and walking to the footpath.

Neighbours have told of the “huge violent fight” right outside their houses, and rushing to give first aid to the injured.

Witnesses report baseball bats and cars being used as weapons, resulting in multiple injuries.

The other two men were taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital – both in serious but stable conditions.

One of those men was allegedly hit by a car, while the other sustained injuries also believed to be from a bat.

Two other people believed to be involved, a 28-year-old man and 16-year-old, appeared with injuries at a house in Tivoli about 6km away.

One is believed to have a gunshot wound.

The 28-year-old man was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a serious condition, while the teenager was taken to Ipswich Hospital in a stable condition.

The initial shooting took place on Baden Jones Way, North Booval.

Police cordoned off an area in surrounding streets to the initial affray as they continued to search for more people believed to be involved.

One resident, who did not wish to be named, said there were “lots of cops, choppers and ambulances” on the scene.

A spokeswoman from the Queensland Ambulance Service said paramedics treated multiple people following the call for help just after 5pm.

Police were on Tuesday night searching for multiple people at the intersection of Baden Jones Way and Vivian Hancock Drive.

All residents were ordered to stay inside.

A neighbour who preferred not to be named said the brawl happened right in front of his house.

“I heard people having a huge violent fight and all I did was run out and give first aid,” he said.

He said he treated cuts and bleeding of those involved.

“There was a lot of yelling swearing violence,” he said.

“Obviously they had a huge disagreement about something and it just went wild after that.”

The neighbour heard people were arguing about stolen property, possibly a motorbike that could be seen sitting out the front of one of the houses the brawl happened out the front of.

Another local, Bruce Glass, said he was working on a high-set house nearby and said he heard the gun shots.

“I heard about six shots in quick succession,” he said.

A woman who lived near the crime scene said it was “scary” that the altercation happened so close to her home.

“It’s pretty freaky,” she said.

A young couple from Baden-Jones Way said a group of four children aged about 10, including two of their own kids, were playing in Keith Pennell Park when the conflict began to unfold directly across the road.

The concerned parents, who asked not to be identified, said the children ran to them about 5pm and said a fight was breaking out between a large group.

“They said there were about 15 people involved, and that some of them had bats,” the father of the children said.

“The kids said there was a fight going on up there, then a lady across the road said to get the kids inside because there was still a person with a gun going around somewhere.”

The couple said there was a man lying motionless on the side of the road where some of the other children in the group would have had to walk to get home.

“It seemed to take ages for the ambos and police to get here, but when they did they came out in force,” the mother said.

“We could see that something was going on up there but we didn’t quite realise how bad it was.”

The couple said they heard no gunshots or yelling coming from the scene.

“It was eerie,” the mother said.
