GPMS RESTRICTED<br />

Telephone You heard the shots and then sorry<br />

what?<br />

Telephone A fella getting out of a car and they<br />

were parked like nose to nose and<br />

I’ve liked watched it and thought oh<br />

they’re not shooting the sheep and<br />

I’ve seen a fella running up the road<br />

out the white van up the lonning and<br />

then this other fella kept shooting<br />

and I’ve watched it til he’s got to the<br />

top and outta sight but I haven’t<br />

seen this fella come back into this<br />

car but the other fella’s took of in his<br />

car. I’m just frightened he’s<br />

wounded up the top eh.<br />

Telephone Right so a male got out and started<br />

shooting at another male is that<br />

what you’re saying?<br />

Telephone Yeah. From where I’m standing like<br />

yeah there were two males. But<br />

there on like someone’s property as<br />

well eh<br />

Telephone Right just bear with ez. Right so did<br />

you say that one of the males has<br />

returned back to his car?<br />

Telephone And then took off yeah come down<br />

the lonning<br />

Telephone But the other male hasn’t<br />

Telephone No and the car’s still parked up<br />

8.16 Susan ROONEY was understandably affected by what she had seen<br />

and this made it difficult for the call taker to establish the facts.<br />

8.17 However, significant details were missed. It was clear that someone<br />

was discharging a firearm towards another person and the shots<br />

could be heard by the witness who was concerned that someone was<br />

injured.<br />

8.18 A firearm being heard as it was discharged would indicate that it was<br />

not an air weapon. This is a relevant fact for the FIM to decide<br />

whether to send armed resources.<br />

8.19 Irrespective of whether the weapon was an air rifle or not, the fact<br />

that the allegation was that an individual had discharged the weapon<br />
