Queensland police say they are questioning three people, including the suspected shooter, over a triple fatality at a cattle property in Bogie in north Queensland.
Three people were found dead and a man was critically wounded after the shooting on the cattle property near Collinsville on Thursday morning.
The injured man, who was airlifted to Mackay Hospital with a gunshot wound to his abdomen, is in a serious but stable condition after undergoing surgery late yesterday.
Police said they were still working to determine a motive for the shooting but are questioning three people.
Police issued an emergency declaration yesterday under the Public Safety Preservation Act for an area at Shannonvale Road, south-east of Collinsville, which remains in place.
Nearby residents have been advised to stay away from the area and multiple crime scenes have been established.
The three people who died and the injured man are all from the same family but the police did not confirm their identities.
Mackay District Superintendent Tom Armitt said police were searching an “extensive” farming area that is “hilly and heavily forested”.
