School, Hospital in Lockdown After Gunshots

  • Police are searching for a 25-year-old armed man after gunshots were reported just before 4am in Kingaroy, Queensland, leading to lockdowns of a school, hospital, and local businesses.
  • The incident began with reports of gunfire from a property on Arthur Street, which triggered the police operation and subsequent closures in the regional town 220km northwest of Brisbane.
  • Authorities describe the suspect as a slim Caucasian male, approximately 175 cm tall, with brown hair and eyes, who is believed to be driving a black Suzuki Swift bearing false license plates numbered 551-GE9.
  • At 6:15am, police notified the public that entry to Kingaroy Hospital would be limited until further notice, and parents of Saint Mary’s Catholic College were informed that the school would stay closed while police remain active in the area.
  • The search continues with police urging anyone who sees the man or his vehicle to avoid approach and immediately contact authorities, while investigations remain active in the area.
