A Brisbane man, 29, has been charged after an alleged shooting incident where it’s understood he shot at a couple and threatened police with a gun.

Following a three-month investigation, police allege that at 6am on Sunday, April 24, a man discharged a firearm in the direction of a man and woman who were known to him in Carina.

No one was injured.

The man allegedly fled the scene in a grey BMW.

A police investigation was underway to find the man when, on June 28, police tracked him to a house in Boronia Heights, where he allegedly threatened officers with a firearm as he sat in a car.

He fled again before allegedly getting out of the car along Mount Lindesay Highway near Coronation Rd, where the car rolled into an embankment.

At 4.45pm on July 28, the man was located at a car park at an inner Brisbane City hotel and taken into custody without incident.

Police seized firearms, ammunition, dangerous drugs and two stolen vehicles from the man.
