Two men, including a teenager, have been charged with attempted murder after three people were injured in shootings in Brisbane overnight.

Police found three people with non-life-threatening injuries in Brisbane’s CBD after they were called to reports of shots fired about 10.40pm.

Police believe the alleged shooting was a “targeted attack” on a man, and believe the suspects and the victim knew each other.

The suspects fled the scene to the city’s south-west.

“The alleged offenders fled the scene and travelled to Darra where they set fire to the vehicle they were travelling in just after midnight,” police said in a statement.
