Man charged with attempted murder after shooting south of Brisbane

By Catherine Strohfeldt

A 62-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly shooting another man twice following an argument at a home in Logan on Saturday night.

Emergency services were called about 6pm to a house on Clarendon Avenue in Bethania, where paramedics found a 35-year-old man suffering from potentially life-threatening wounds.

Police believe the older man shot him in the shoulder and chest after an argument broke out about 5.55pm.

Paramedics said the victim suffered multiple chest wounds, and took him to Princess Alexandra Hospital in a potentially life-threatening condition.

He remained at the hospital in a stable condition on Sunday morning.

The 62-year-old was charged with three offences: attempted murder, grievous bodily harm, and failing to securely store a weapon.

He was expected to appear before Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Monday.
