Residents in a quiet residential street were shocked by the death of three women on one day.
Police are questioning a 34-year-old man after a young woman was shot dead in Sunshine North on Friday morning.
Homicide squad’s Detective Senior Sergeant Stephen McIntyre said the woman was in the rear bedroom of a Meadowbank Drive house when she was shot soon after 9am. No charges had been laid when the Weekly went to print.
“How many shots and how many wounds is yet to be determined,’’ Detective Senior Sergeant McIntyre said.
Another police source told the Weekly the 22-year-old woman had been shot several times in the chest after a domestic argument.
“She was alive when the paramedics got there, but they couldn’t save her,” he said.
Meadowbank Drive resident Peter, who lives a few houses away, said he had seen the man and woman together on several occasions.
Another resident, Robyn, said police had visited the house about a week ago.
Detective Senior Sergeant McIntyre confirmed the man was known to police.
Residents living close to the house said they were shocked by the shooting. They said they had heard no gun shots.
In an unrelated incident, the bodies of two other women were found in another house in the same street on the same day. Police said the deaths of the two women, aged 84 and 47, were not suspicious.
