Caitlin Houghton, who lives nearby, told 1 NEWS she heard a gunshot just before 10pm, but didn’t think much of it as residents often hunt in the area.
She says it’s “weird” how many incidents have happened in the area, including a double-homicide last year and an explosion.
One person is helping police with their investigations, which are continuing.
