Police believe the trio, all aged in their 20s, know each other.

Neighbours along Military Rd, where a crime scene has been set up at a property a couple of kilometres away from the service station, said they were too scared to talk.

However, one - who asked not to be named -  revealed that he heard "a couple of loud bangs" before heavily armed police arrived in the street.
