I was half listening to the news when I heard this, but now I can't find anything online about it. It said Terry was shot while getting mail from his letter box. He survived.

Terry is a controvershall boat reviewer based on the Gold coast who has allied himself with a variety of manufacturers over the years, possibly upsetting a few people along the way.....

Accident, or deliberate? WDYT???

POLICE swarmed on a Gold Coast house yesterday after reports a television cameraman had been shot.

But it now appears the man may have been simply startled by a postman's backfiring motorbike and bumped his head.
Uniformed officers and detectives rushed to Matthew Flinders Drive at Paradise Point after a triple 0 call about 2.15pm.

Freelance cameraman and documentary maker Terry Turner, 34, had his head bandaged and was taken from his house on a stretcher by paramedics.

He was taken to the Gold Coast Hospital by ambulance.

Police said Mr Turner told them he had been shot.

The incident happened about the same time a gun-wielding bikie was reported to be in the northern Gold Coast area.

However, Surfers Paradise CIB Acting Inspector Nev Huth said there was no indication Mr Turner had been shot by a bikie, the postman or anyone else.

"He heard a motorcycle but it was the postman's, and certainly nothing of a large variety," Insp Huth said.

He said neighbours had not reported hearing any gunshot and no ballistics evidence was found.

He said while Mr Turner had a head wound, it was superficial and not life threatening.

Police believed he may have bumped his head on his letterbox or on a boat parked in his driveway.

Mr Turner's documentary work helped spark an RSPCA investigation into shark cruelty at Sea World several years ago when the theme park was building its multimillion-dollar Shark Bay exhibit.

This just keeps getting curioser and curioser....

A GOLD Coast man's wrong complaint to police that he had been shot in the head has backfired – he's now been charged with weapons offences.

Documentary maker and freelance TV cameraman Terry Turner thought he was the victim of a drive-by shooting outside his Paradise Point home on Wednesday. He had heard a motorcycle and then a bang and felt blood coming from a head wound.
But police investigations revealed the bang almost certainly came from a postman's backfiring motorbike. Police believe the noise startled Turner and he banged his head on a boat he was repairing in his driveway.

After he was taken to Gold Coast Hospital, police searched his home for bullets. They allegedly found some, but none had been used to shoot Turner.

Instead, police later charged him with weapons offences involving a Glock 9mm magazine containing ammunition, a Taser stun gun and handcuffs. Turner was bailed to appear in court next month.
