A man is fighting for life after he was shot twice in a roadside shooting in Brisbane\u2019s north on Tuesday night. <\/p>\n
Emergency services were called to Centre St at Aspley just before 11pm after the shooting. <\/p>\n
A motorbike inspected by the man just before he was shot has been seized. <\/p>\n
The 24-year-old Aspley man was taken to hospital in a serious condition. <\/p>\n
There was blood on the front gate and front lawn of a home near where the man was shot. <\/p>\n
Matt Gerrard and Hannah McCaley said they were asleep when a man was shot right outside their house. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe woke up to the loudest bang ever. Then we heard someone screaming for help and screaming for their mum,\u201d Mr Gerrard said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we heard \u2018I\u2019ve been shot\u2019, we just ran out of the house as quick as we could.<\/p>\n
The couple said they were concerned the offender might still be in the street, but once they saw the bleeding victim, they ran to help. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe just collapsed to the ground, and there was just so much blood all over his leg,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy partner was on the phone to police while \u2026 I got the towel and started applying pressure to his leg.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms McCaley said the sound of the gunshot was unmistakeable.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just knew it was a gun. The sound was unmistakeable. It was very scary. It felt like it just shook the whole room,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
The couple helped the man until police arrived around six minute later. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe were just trying to keep him talking as much as he could. He was fading in and out, so we got his name and age,\u201d Mr Gerrard said. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou never know what you would do in a situation like that. You can think about it 100 times until it happens, and then you run and help potentially save someone\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n
