Two men have been arrested following the shooting of a man in the front yard of his Queensland home.
Clinton Pollock, 37, was shot in the chest and died at the scene after getting into an argument with a group of men, who went to the Deception Bay property about 11.30pm on Sunday.
Detective Senior Sergeant Michael Hogan said police believed the victim knew the offenders.
Neighbours reported hearing screaming at the Thompson Street home around the time of the shooting.
“I woke my husband up because my kids woke up from the noise and we just heard a lot of screaming from the people inside,” one woman told The Courier-Mail.
“It’s disturbing, scary actually happening right next door.
“It’s usually very quiet, we like living here, so it’s a bit confronting.”
Police could not confirm how many men were involved or reports a woman at the scene tried to save the victim by performing CPR.
