A 19-year-old woman is fighting for her life after a drive-by shooting at a boxing event in Brisbane left four people injured.

Four people were shot outside a boxing event at Fitzy's Hotel in Loganholme, south of Brisbane, on Saturday night. The 19-year-old woman was critically injured with wounds to her neck and head, whilst three men aged 27, 37 and 38 suffered abdominal injuries. Multiple shots were fired at the venue about 8.15pm during a boxing meet for Logan City Titles, when adults, teenagers and children were attending.

Police are looking for at least three people, including a masked shooter and a getaway driver. Chief Superintendent Mel Adams said there were elements of pre-planning that meant the shooting was not random, but declined to describe it as targeted. She assured the public that police were satisfied the offenders did not pose an immediate or secondary threat to the community, and said there were no concerns or intelligence suggesting reprisal attacks.

An extensive team of detectives and specialists has been engaged in the investigation. Police urged the community to come forward with information, with Supt Adams stating that people out there would know or suspect who carried out the attack. She said the families of the victims were distraught following the shooting.
