The mother-of-three who was gunned down in a horror daylight shooting on a suburban street has been identified.
Kara Jade Weribone, 27, was shot at a home on Christmas Street home in North Toowoomba at about 1.50pm on Wednesday.
Ms Weribone, from nearby Wilsonton, was found critically injured at the scene with multiple life-threatening gunshot wounds.
She was rushed to Toowoomba Hospital, where she later died.
Two men, one aged in his 50s with a head injury, and another man for emotional distress were treated at the scene by paramedics.
The young mum is being mourned by friends and family on Thursday.
‘I’m trying so hard to keep it together but this is hurting me that you’re really gone baby sis,’ one relative wrote.
‘Really never wanted to say goodbye to you yet. Can’t believe this.’
Acting Detective Inspector Brian Collins said three ‘associates’ of the woman have been taken into custody.
‘Our thoughts go out to her family, it’s devastating when someone loses their life in this way,’ he said on Wednesday.
One neighbour said she heard gunshots and ran outside, where she saw an injured woman lying on the footpath.
The ‘extremely alarming’ incident unfolded less than 150metres from Holy Name Catholic Primary School.
Police said there is ‘nothing to indicate’ the shooting was domestic violence related and do not believe it was drug-related.
Detectives are remaining tight-lipped on unconfirmed reports that the woman was shot multiple times with a .22 calibre rifle.
Anyone with dashcam footage of the West Street and Christmas Street area between 1pm and 2.30pm on Monday have been urged to come forward.
More to come.
