Police are searching for a suspect after a 19-year-old man was shot in the leg in the Logan suburb of Kingston today.
Authorities said the 19-year-old victim, who is not cooperating with investigators, was shot about 10.10am at Mudgee Street, which backs on to bushland.
The injured man was with a friend when he was shot, who ran to a nearby home and screamed for help.
“He said his friend had been shot and was dying and need help,” resident Janina Poon said.
The injured man was treated at the scene and then taken to Logan Hospital in a stable condition.
A police helicopter was been called in to search the area for the alleged offender, but no one has been arrested.
Police have left the scene of the shooting and are awaiting medical advice to determine whether to pursue the matter further.
