Queensland Police Service said they were called to a residence on Imperial Parade just after 2pm after receiving reports of a shot fired.

Police closed Imperial Parade and diverted children and parents on their away home from the nearby Labrador State School away from the street.

Paramedics attempted CPR after the 43-year-old man died at the scene after allegedly being shot in the chest.

A man has sustained “serious injuries”, while another man was “assisting police with enquiries”, the statement read.

Detective Inspector Mark Thompson said the 48-year-old woman was taken into police custody at the scene and questioned before she was last night charged with one count of murder.

A police spokesman refused to confirm to Sky News on Monday afternoon that the victim had died.

The cordon caused chaos for parents of the primary school pupils and many were unable to collect their children for several hours.
