00:11a man had been shot in the head with a homemade pipe gun.

00:19the shooter in nearby bushland.
00:22The victim, who neighbours tell me, was a man in his late 50s, lived at the property
00:26with his wife, daughter and infant granddaughter.
00:29He was taken to the Gold Coast University Hospital, thankfully with only minor injuries
00:34to his head and shoulder that are not believed to be life-threatening.
00:37A short time ago, police made an emergency declaration, setting up an exclusion zone.

00:47The public has been told to avoid the area and neighbouring residents have been asked
00:50to stay inside their homes.
