A man has been shot in broad daylight in Brisbane.
Two people have been arrested, while police are hunting at least one other suspect.
The man in his 40s was shot in the leg inside a Ferricks Street home in Stafford in the city’s north.

Three people were seen leaving quickly shortly after as the victim’s screams rang out.
“We hear this big gunshot, this bang so we quickly ran inside,” witness Michael Nocotra said.
A man hobbling with an apparent leg injury pulled up about 2pm today.
He entered and seconds later a gunshot was heard.
Neighbour Rosana Romano said it was ‘traumatising”.
Police responded quickly, calling for immediate helicopter support.
The police helicopter spotted a red Volkswagen seen leaving and in a bizarre set of circumstances saw it come back to the scene of the crime where officers on the ground were waiting.
A man and a woman, who police say know the victim, were arrested.
The victim was given CPR and stretchered into an ambulance to be rushed to hospital.
“Police immediately applied first aid and a tourniquet, which probably saved the gentleman’s life,” Inspector Karl Hahne said.
It’s understood two more suspects remain on the run.
