Sandra said the outside of the club was still busy, with many patrons around the entrance. “The people were all lining up to get in the club, they just start screaming and yelling ‘Oh my god, oh my god’. When the car left they ran to the people on the ground.”

I just saw the car roll up and then 'pow, pow, pow, pow' - four times they shot. Sandra said she saw two men on the ground, one who had been shot in the leg. “It was horrific, it was so horrible. I couldn’t sleep, I don’t know if I’m going to be able to do my exams tomorrow. “I guess this stuff happens but I just saw it all through my window.” The shooter’s car drove over Malvern Road and was last seen driving up Bray Street.

Homicide Detective Inspector Andy Stamper said it was too early to say whether it was a targeted or random shooting. No arrests have been made. “This is just a horrendous act,” he said. He said the full weight of the crime department would be thrown into the investigation. “No stone will be left unturned,” he said. An officer photographs evidence left at the scene.

Detectives are expected to investigate links to an outlaw motorcycle gang which has made extortion attempts on the nightclub. A security guard from Love Machine said the music inside the R&B nightclub was so loud that patrons and staff inside had no idea anything was occurring outside during the shooting. Chapel Street is home to a number of popular nightclubs and the shooting on Sunday occurred while many people were still out. One woman posted to social media to let her family and friends know she was safe after she witnessed the shooting.

“There was a shooting right in front of us at Love Machine while we were standing across the road ... so please if anyone is out at clubs please go home now,” she said on Facebook.

Five people were killed in Melbourne in four unconnected shootings in less than a fortnight. Premier Dan Andrews said on Sunday shootings like this one "rock the city". He said the government had always supported police when they had sought more powers or resources to control gun crime. “I’m not aware of any further request for additional gun law reform but given recent events, if the police commissioner came to me and said he needed more, then of course we would stand ready to do that,” he said.
