The deceased 48-year-old suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and was treated by paramedics at the scene but passed away just after 7am. 

A black, new model, Holden Commodore utility with no registration plates was seen leaving the address in Brittany Court.

It was then seen driving on the neighbouring Mount Lindesay Highway.  

Police are appealing to anyone who may have seen the vehicle near Brittany Court before 6am– or has dash camera footage or CCTV – to come forward. 

Another neighbour expressed their shock at the man’s death, saying he could regularly be seen walking his three-legged poodle.

‘He was so great – he was super sweet,’ neighbour Billie Beever said.

‘It’s just so scary, it’s like why do people even have guns.’ 

The teenage daughter had been home at the time, 7 News reported.
