Six men have been charged after a 21-year-old Goodna man was shot in the arm during an altercation between two groups in Brisbane’s inner-south on New Year’s Day.
A police spokesman said officers attended a Carl St, Woolloongabba address about 11am after reports shots had been fired.
The man was shot in upper-left arm and took himself to Princess Alexandra Hospital.
Six men have been charged including a 24-year-old from Goodna, a 21-year-old from Collingwood Park, a 20-year-old from Redbank, a 20-year-old from Bellbird Park, a 19-year-old from Collingwood Park and an 18-year-old from Bellbird Park.
Police will allege all six committed one count each of affray and going armed so as to cause fear.
The police spokesman said the two groups involved were known to each other.
No one else was injured in the shooting.
Police believe this is not a random incident and there is no ongoing threat to the public at this time.
