Charges over gel gun

TWO men have been charged in relation to an alleged driveby shooting of vulnerable people at a Townsville park.

Police have charged a 24year- old Rangewood man and a 21- year- old Rasmussen man with assault occasioning bodily harm and dangerous conduct with a weapon.

It is alleged the men drove past Dean Park about 9pm on Monday and began shooting a group of indigenous people with a gel blaster- style gun.

Townsville Eastern Patrol Group’s Inspector Glenn Doyle condemned the attack on Tuesday. “The victims are members of the more vulnerable parts of the community,” Insp Doyle said.

Officers were informed of the attack by members of the group at the park and swiftly stopped a car nearby.
