In a tragic incident just outside the Fitzroy Police Station, which was not operational at the time, a drive-by shooting occurred, leaving a community shaken and mourning.
A lone police officer stationed nearby responded swiftly upon hearing what sounded like one or two gunshots piercing the quiet. Arriving at the scene, the officer discovered a man, identified as Good, with a devastating gunshot wound to the head.
