An innocent couple who live in the house of a former Hells Angels bikie have revealed the terrifying moment their neighbour’s home was shot at.
The young couple had only been living in the house in Carrara, on Queensland’s Gold Coast, for two weeks before they were woken up by the sound of bullets early Friday morning.
The pair believe the incident may be related to warfare between the previous owner of the house, Ben Geppert, and other motorcycle gang members.
They had only just gone to sleep before they heard a series of gun shots peppering their neighbour’s house.
The man initially thought the sounds were someone banging on the door, not realising they were bullets until the police arrived at their door.
‘I was s*** scared. I knew they weren’t normal sounds,’ the woman told The Gold Coast Bulletin.
‘We only just moved in. It’s been about two weeks now. I’ve had the worst experience so far. It hasn’t been good.’
The pair said they thought rival bikies had mistaken Geppert’s house for the one next door and were trying to ‘scare’ him.
The man said their neighbours weren’t harmed but were rattled after the gun shots were fired.
‘They know that nobody could want to hurt them so the only possible scenario is us, or the people who used to live here, and we don’t know anyone here,’ he said.
The garage door was open at the time of the gun shots, and the man said he stayed up until the early hours of the morning waiting for someone to come into the house.
The residency was shot at five times with the shooter suspected to have hidden behind a car before fleeing the scene.
Nobody was injured during the shootings, and police are still investigating the incident.
