00:0034-year-old Natalie Fromm was allegedly killed by her neighbour Ryan Cole.
00:07Two girls in the back seat of her car ran for help.
00:1166-year-old Jimmy McGill ran towards danger and was also shot.
00:15I don't think there's a single person in Queensland whose heart doesn't break for Natalie and
00:22her family and friends and this community.
00:24Loved ones describe her as a proud mum who would do anything for her children.
00:29I've always had a smile, you will be greatly missed and I still can't believe that this
00:35has happened.
00:36Mr Cole has been charged with murder and attempted murder.
00:40Mr McGill is still recovering from injuries to his hand and sternum in hospital.
00:45He's doing okay and what a hero.
00:49And those two young girls who ran down to get help, what heroes they are as well.
00:54This is just an unbelievable, very violent episode that we're still coming to grips with.
01:02Police are searching for the alleged revolver and the motive.
01:06As you can imagine, this is a complex investigation.
01:10We're going to be really methodical about how we go about trying to determine what the
01:13cause was.
01:14Detectives will investigate how Mr Cole allegedly came to have the gun.
01:19His own weapons licence was revoked in 2021.
01:22The Premier says he'll consider reviewing Queensland's gun laws if the circumstances
01:27call for it.
01:29We do have changes to the firearm laws before the Parliament right now.
01:32The committee is looking at them and if there are any changes required to keep the community
01:38safe of course we'll consider that.
01:40We'll take the advice of the Police Commissioner.
