A man has died and two others have been injured after a broad daylight shooting near the Qld-NSW border.
Emergency services were called to Tyalgum Road at Eungella, just near Murwillumbah, about 1.25pm (AEDT) following reports of a shooting.
It’s understood two men, aged 41 and 38, were shot by another man, who ran from the scene with a fourth man.
Paramedics treated the older man at the property for a gunshot wound but he couldn’t be saved.
He is yet to be formally identified.
Police were then alerted to a second incident nearby where a 45-year-old man was allegedly hit by a car. He is being treated in hospital and remains under police guard.
The 38-year-old man involved in the initial shooting incident then turned up at a nearby hospital to be treated for a gunshot wound.
Police are now waiting to speak with those men to try and figure out what happened.
A search is also underway for a fourth person, believed to be aged 37, who NSW Police believe can assist with their inquiries.
Part of Tyalgum Road remains closed off this afternoon as investigations continue.
Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact Tweed Heads Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
