 He said members of the film crew had tried to administer CPR on the victim, but the man eventually died from his injuries. 
 
 Insp Armitt did not say whether the gun was loaded with live ammunition or if blanks were being used. It is also unknown how many shots were fired.

 The Australian Associated Press quoted an eyewitness as saying he heard a series of loud bangs. 
 
 Construction worker Blake Shaw was working on the floor above the bar at the time of the incident. 
 
 "There was like three gunshots and then about five minutes all the cops came," he said. 
 
 He said that when he looked through a hole in the floor, he saw money strewn around the bar and a man's torso covered in blood.
