Witnesses told ABC News that a man armed with a pump-action shotgun walked into the Palms Motel before firing at several doors. The man reportedly then left the scene and remained at large for approximately an hour, with reports of shots being fired in suburbs around the area.
According to the ABC, there are further crime scenes at the Buff Club in Stuart Park and on Gardens Hill Crescent in The Gardens.
Police have said that they do not believe the incident to be terror-related and have said that there is no further risk to the public.
