I would like to clarify some information and debates obviously happening over the incident.
I am the daughter and one of the passengers of the vehicle that was shot.
Now David i believe went to the media himself as we did not. He was called in specifically to go over the cameras as they were the ones closest and in direct view of where our car was. no more than that.
We are fortunate that we were not parked 20cm back further (or him 20cm forward) and 20 mins later or him 20 mins earlier or myself and my son would surely still be in hospital or funerals planned for us. The man who pulled up in his utility vehicle had his gun discharge before he even managed to get out from my understanding. It went off, through the panels of his ute and into my fathers pristine car.
I feel terrible for my dad as we were shopping for a fishing trip next weekend, he has already lost enough in life between cancer taking my mother, earthquakes and a car accident.
I hope this guy gets more than a slap on the wrist as my father now has no matter how good the panel repair work is, a damaged car that is no longer pristine... and of course insurance will not cover "like for like" only "current market value"

It is a mystery to us, the police have not made contact since to state the man in question has handed himself in so all i know is now from the media.

Why it was loaded, we do not know, all i know is that if it went off without a finger to it, that couldve been anywhere and anytime and he is dead lucky that no one was injured.

The "witness" in the media story saw the man exit his car, voice a few explessives and drive off while on his phone, thinking the guy was calling the police and handing himself in, he didnt think too much more of it and mustve still been in the facinity.

I hope this clears it up a little for you all.

Honestly first thought was some big bird lost its load all over the car, second thought was some prick had purchased some of those bullet hole stickers from GunCity as a joke, then i relised and first reaction was to say "holey shit someone shot your car" and push everyone away in case whoever/whatever was still behind us.

Was not a fun expereice at all.

thanks for clearing all that up, i hope the idiot in question firstly loses his license and then ends up in prison with a very kinky cellmate who will make his life a misery for 10 years.
secondly i am very glad no one in your family was hurt, as someone who has been hit by a bullet it is not a pleasant experience (although the injury was minimal)
