Wonder what the reason for the shooting was?

According to last nights' news they had made an arrest?

The 1st 2 arrested have been released on bail, the 3rd has been released, and a 4th person has been arrested. Police are looking for the suspected getaway car too:

How many people are involved in this? I'm starting to think this is gang related.

A tragedy that the 23 year old died in such a horrific way, he looks a perfectly decent guy. But I do wonder if he was mixed up in some sort of drugs gang, it doesn't say in the police report. It's also highly likely that the gang were owners of unlicensed guns. I suspect there is a lot of that around and it is worrying.

Yes, I suspect we only know part of the story.

I'm not sure whether I'm for or against guns being permitted in this country, but what really does surprise me is the number that seem to be around, and the ease that you can pick them up (for a price!).
