A manhunt is under way in northern Australia after three people were killed and another critically injured in a shooting on a remote property.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The shooting happened on Thursday morning local time on a cattle farm at Bogie in Queensland, authorities said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Queensland Police have locked down an area surrounding the property as they search for the “killer or killers”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The critically injured person – a man – had travelled “many, many kilometres” to raise the alarm, officers said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The man suffered a gunshot wound to his abdomen and was flown to a hospital in the city of Mackay to undergo emergency surgery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“At this stage, we are at very, very early stages of this investigation,” Supt Tom Armitt told the media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“We do not know who is responsible.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The victims have not been identified but are believed to be relatives of the injured man, said Supt Armitt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Originally when the male person spoke to us, he was obviously in a distressed state,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Bogie – about 1,200km (745 miles) north of Brisbane – is home to around 200 people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Australia has some of the toughest gun laws in the world, introduced after a lone gunman murdered 35 people in Port Arthur, Tasmania in 1996.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Since then, there have been only three mass shootings – defined in Australia as those resulting in at least four deaths, excluding the perpetrator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Supt Armitt described Thursday’s shooting as an “extremely rare event”.<\/p>\n
