April 03, 2006

FIVE youths who allegedly went on a racist shooting spree in central Queensland on Australia Day have been released on bail.

Shane Matthew McPherson, Scott Henry Warwick-Day, Troy Keith Zornig, Hayden John Nitz and Timothy Perry, all 17, appeared in Rockhampton Magistrates Court today.

The youths are alleged to have shot at least two teenagers in the back with air rifles in the streets of Rockhampton in random, drive-by shootings on January 26.

The court was told the group drove around with the intention of shooting Aborigines.

They face charges including grievous bodily harm, unlawful wounding and weapons offences.

All were released on bail and instructed not to communicate with each other.

McPherson and Zornig were placed on curfews, preventing them from leaving their house between the hours of 7pm and 7am without a parent or guardian.

Nitz was placed on a curfew between the hours of 6pm and 8am.

All will reappear on May 22 for committal mention.
