Shocking footage shows a man with a shotgun approaching a home and asking residents to come out – hours later, the couple living at the home found bullets in the side of their car
This is the chilling moment a man allegedly approaches a home with a shotgun, screaming at residents to come outside.
CCTV footage of the incident was captured in Narangba, a town located about 50 minutes north of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia, on Saturday morning. The video, now in the hands of police, shows a man approaching the property before knocking repeatedly and demanding someone come to the door. In the clip, the man can be seen yelling: “Open the door — Don’t make me smash a window.” While screaming, he was seen hitting the door with his gun, before walking away.

But hours later, the couple found their Mitsubishi Triton with bullet holes on the driver’s side. The following day, more shots were fired at the car which had a rear window smashed and the driver’s side mirror shot off, News.com.au reported.
Then on Monday morning, special police in tactical gear searched the property after receiving information about a person of interest. However, no one was located and no weapons were discovered.
Speaking to 7News, the woman living at the home said she believes the shooter is targeting her partner over a debt. She shared: “You’re still worried about what could happen because obviously, when someone’s got a gun, you know, that’s your life being threatened.”
Police investigations are continuing and anyone with information has been urged to come forward. A police spokesperson said: “We are unable to provide further comment at this time.”
Earlier this year, a pilot was hailed a “hero” after he stopped a 15-year-old boy who stormed an airport with a rifle and demanded access to a plane. The teenager arrived at the small regional airport in Arkansas, US, with an AR-style rifle and a handgun while demanding an aircraft and access to the airfield – but the quick-thinking pilot sprung into action and ran to grab his own gun, according to officials.
The unidentified child entered Signature Aviation – one of the businesses at the Texarkana Regional Airport – before approaching the front counter and flashing both guns, police and airport officials said. Terrified staff members then fled into one of the back offices after the teen loaded a round in the chamber. Workers locked the door and called police, CNN reports. The boy meanwhile left to go to the airfield, where he caught the attention of a local private pilot.
The pilot ran to his truck to grab his own gun before confronting the boy and forcing him onto the ground, officials said. After complying, the teen was eventually taken away by Texarkana police officers – who discovered another shotgun in a car believed to have been used by the boy, the airport said.
The department later released a statement praising the pilot. It wrote: “The Texarkana Arkansas Police Department applauds the heroic act by the local pilot. The fact that this incident was resolved quickly and peacefully, despite the extreme danger presented, is highly commendable.”
