A violent altercation broke out in Surfers Paradise, Queensland, after a noise dispute between neighbors escalated. Police responded to a call at Peninsular Drive around 2 am and found a 44-year-old father with stab wounds to his leg, neck, and head.
His 21-year-old son suffered two gunshot wounds to the stomach, while another 23-year-old son had minor cuts.
Authorities believe the incident started when the father asked his upstairs neighbors to keep the noise down. Footage suggests 30-year-old Mitchell Barnes allegedly fired a warning shot from the back deck, sparking the violent confrontation.
Queensland Police are urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward to aid their investigation.
The circumstances surrounding the stabbing and shooting are still under investigation, and police are working to determine the sequence of events.
