KFC Shooting.
A MAN is recovering in hospital following emergency surgery after being shot twice in the stomach yesterday.
In a bizarre twist, the 21-year-old gunshot victim drove almost 1km from the scene of the shooting to a KFC eatery on the northern Coast.
He parked his car between the lines in the marked carpark and then walked into the fast-food outlet about 1.45pm, pleading for help before collapsing in the doorway, bleeding heavily from his wounds.
Police last night could give no reason for the man’s behaviour and would not comment on a motive for the shooting, other than to say they were checking all links, including whether the heavily-tattooed victim had connections to any outlaw motorcycle gangs.
Emergency crews raced to the family restaurant at the Runaway Bay Shopping Centre, at the corner of Lae Drive and Bayview Street, after being called by terrified staff.
Shoppers at the complex said they had not heard any shots but about the same time police received reports of gunfire in Ray Street — about 1km south of the KFC restaurant.
A resident of Ray Street, who declined to be named, said she saw a man in a balaclava and holding something dark in his hand jump into a car being driven by another man, about 1.40pm.
