Canberra man accused of shooting at car, seriously injuring teen
The 29-year-old was denied bail after being accused of shooting at a car and seriously injuring one of the teenage passengers.
A 29-year-old man has been denied bail after allegedly shooting at a vehicle and seriously injuring a teenage passenger in Canberra's south on Friday night. The incident occurred around 10pm when a red Hyundai i30 allegedly followed a red Ford Falcon along Abrahams Crescent and Beaumaris Street in Conder. The Hyundai then shot at the Ford, striking a passenger in the back seat, who was subsequently transported to the hospital with serious injuries.
The man was later arrested and charged with using a firearm to endanger human life, with Magistrate James Lawton refusing bail due to the risk he poses, particularly with the firearm not yet located. Police are urging witnesses and residents with CCTV footage to come forward.
