“Paramedics arrived on the scene and were shown to a vehicle where they found two males believed to be in their 30s who had sustained gunshot wounds on their upper bodies. Both men were already deceased before paramedics arrived.

“Paramedics were further shown to the centre where another male, believed to be in his 20s was found to have sustained fatal gunshot wounds and was declared dead on the scene,” reported ALS Paramedics spokesperson Garrith Jamieson.

Jamieson said it is believed that the shooting occurred and the vehicle lost control and collided into another vehicle. The driver of that vehicle was not injured.
