Vic: Three people charged after drive-by shooting
MELBOURNE, April 15 AAP - A 26-year-old woman accused of driving a car involved in
a drive-by shooting in Melbourne's north has been charged along with two teenage passengers
with reckless conduct endangering life.
Vanessa Cooper appeared in the Broadmeadows Magistrate's Court on Wednesday where she
was granted bail.
Police allege she was one of three people in a stolen car from which six shots were
fired at the house in Broadmeadows at about 10.45pm (AEST) on Tuesday.
The shots hit the front window, but the five young adults inside the house were not injured.
Broadmeadows police spotted the car, a Holden Commodore, driving through Glenroy, and
began pursuing it but called off the chase after it became too dangerous.
The Holden Commodore then crashed through the wooden fence before hitting a fire hydrant.
The two teenagers - aged 16 and 17 - and the woman allegedly ran from the scene but
were tracked down by a police dog just after midnight.
It has yet to be determined who fired the shots.
