AUSTRALIA - Drug lab found at home of shot man

OFF THE WIRE
AN illegal drug lab has been found at a Gold Coast home where a man was shot and his wife and child were held captive.

The man in his 40s was shot in the shoulder last night when two suspected bikie gang members stormed his Wongawallan home in the Gold Coast hinterland.

His pregnant partner was assaulted before both were tied up in front of their small child, who was not harmed.

The man is in a stable condition and his injuries are not life threatening while his 39-year-old partner has been released from hospital after treatment for minor injuries.

Police say an illegal drug lab was found in the garage of their home.

This afternoon, police were interviewing two men over the incident, a 47-year-old from Bonogin and a 40-year-old from Helensvale.

It's the third shooting in as many weeks and comes just over a fortnight after Gold Coast police officer Damian Leeding was fatally wounded in an armed tavern holdup.
