Yet another witness said she saw a woman shot three times, in both legs, by a man wielding a shotgun.

The woman said she wrapped the victim’s legs in towels while waiting for an ambulance and police.

Police were later seen standing guard outside the Buff Club where one of the victims’ bodies lay dead in the rear car park.

The pub was still open and one drinker told the NT News they earlier saw the alleged shooter involved in a prang outside the venue before speeding off.

“He’s run up the arse of another car but we didn’t really think about it because there was a cop car already here and he’s just sort of ploughed up its butt,” he said.

“A guy got out to have a look at the damage and talk to the driver and the other guy’s reversed out, went around him and straight down the Stuart Hwy.

“All we know is there’s some person shot in the car park, in the back there.”

Another man was found dead inside a home in Jolly St in Woolner.

A witness to that shooting, who did not wish to be named, said he was inside his home watching TV when the alleged shooter broke in with a shotgun in hand and shot his male house mate before escaping.

“He came right in and I asked him what he was doing but he didn’t even look at me, went right past me and shot my mate, he’s still in there,” he said.

“I thought I was dead for sure. It was unbelievable.

“Shit, I tell you what I’m going to need a carton after this.”

Large sections of the city were closed down during the night as police worked to track the suspected gunman.

Police armed with assault rifles and wearing camouflage gear apread out across the city and cordoned off roundabouts and roads in Darwin.
