Further charges over WA funeral shooting

Police have laid further charges after two people shot into a crowd that had
gathered for a funeral in a West Australian town.
A long-running feud between two Aboriginal families escalated after members gathered
following the funeral of an elder in the wheatbelt town of Narrogin, about 200km
southeast of Perth, on November 14.
Police allege a brawl involving about 100 people intensified when a husband and wife
allegedly fired into the crowd that night, injuring two people from the opposing
family.
Police on Saturday said it would also be alleged that one of the offenders also
aimed and fired directly at the driver of a car attempting to take one of the
injured to hospital.
The husband and wife, a 55-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman from Pinjarra in
WA's Peel region, were charged on the night with discharging a firearm with intent
to cause fear.
The husband has now also been charged with three counts of acts intended to cause
grievous bodily harm, possessing a weapon, inadequate storage of a firearm and
carry/possess firearm while intoxicated.
Police on Saturday also said a 30-year-old man from Narrogin had been charged with
breaching a misconduct restraining order.
A 48-year-old man from Narrogin, a member of the opposing family, has been charged
with inadequate storage of ammunition.
The two people injured in the incident have since been discharged from hospital and
are in a satisfactory condition, police said.
Police later said there was another incident a few days after the funeral, with
shots apparently fired at a car belonging to people who had been in Narrogin.
A family who had attended their relative's funeral returned to their home in the
southern Perth suburb of Armadale on Tuesday.
A woman heard two loud bangs at 1.20am (WDT) on Wednesday and the following morning
discovered that both front tyres of her car were flat and there were what appeared
to be three bullet holes in the front registration plate, police said.
Police said while the family was in Narrogin during the shooting incident, they were
not involved in any way.
Police have asked for anyone with information to contact them.
