Wangaratta man shot

This happened directly across the road from my mother and father in-laws place.
The guy that was shot is a friend of mine's brother, pretty scary.

I'm glad your family is okay- it must have been a horribly scary experience for all concerned.
And even more scary- the gunman is still out there somewhere!

Awful stuff,poor chap-hope your friend is ok-mentally.

Sounds like a drug related act,and the hoods have got the wrong address.Hope the police catch the people responsible.

Thanks guys, i still don't know the full story but he was very lucky. If he wasn't behind the security door the gun when off it might have been a different ending.
