A SHOOTING at a Melbourne carpark last night has left a man in his 20s with multiple gunshot wounds.
The shooting happened at a 24-hour shopping mall at Campbellfield in Melbourne’s north near the intersection of Sydney and Mahoney roads about 9.30pm.
A witness told the Herald Sun the man appeared to have wounds to his groin and legs.
A woman was on the phone calling triple-0 and “holding him trying to stop the bleeding”.
The victim was heard to say he was dizzy, and wanted to drink water.
Members of the man’s family arrived at the scene soon after.
The witness said there was a lot of screaming and confusion.
“There were people with kids, and a witness was holding a baby. People were screaming and yelling. It was chaos,” the witness said.
An ambulance spokesman said the man was treated by paramedics and taken to Royal Melbourne Hospital in a stable condition.
A section of the carpark was cordoned off as police hunted the attackers, who fled after the shooting. Officers were still at the scene early this morning.
