"Sophie Quinn was sitting in a car with her partner, John Harris, outside a house in Lake Cargelligo on Thursday afternoon when a ute approached from the opposite direction. From the driver's side window, at least three shots were fired, killing her and Harris. Quinn was seven months pregnant with a boy her family say she planned to name Troy."
"Hoolio is Julian Ingram, Quinn's former partner, who is on bail for alleged domestic violence offences against her. The morning of the shooting, he reported to the local police station as part of his bail conditions. But now he is on the run. From Nerida's house, it is believed he was last seen heading north, towards Euabalong. On Sunday morning, police were responding to a reported sighting of Ingram at Mount Hope, about 70km north of Lake Cargelligo, the first reported sighting since the killings."
"The shooting spree in Lake Cargelligo, a town in remote central west NSW known as the oasis in the outback, was over in minutes; police suspect Ingram did not even get out of the Lachlan Shire council ute he was driving. Ingram allegedly killed Sophie and her partner, turned left out of her street and drove a few short blocks west, behind the bowls club, and the school where Nerida worked as a cleaner, before turning left into Walker Street, and continuing the carnage."
A shooting in Lake Cargelligo left Sophie Quinn and her partner John Harris dead after at least three shots were fired from a ute. Quinn was seven months pregnant with a boy her family say she planned to name Troy. Neighbouring residents shouted that Julian Ingram, known as Hoolio and Quinn's former partner, was at Nerida's and would shoot again. Nerida Quinn and neighbour Kaleb Macqueen were found injured; Nerida later died and Macqueen is expected to recover. Ingram was on bail for alleged domestic violence and had reported to police that morning; police say he fled north and remains sought.
