It is believed a rival gang carried out last night's shoot-out and there are fears innocent people could soon be caught up in the feud. The Bandidos convoy was heading south along the Bolte Bridge around 8.30am, when a station wagon sped up alongside them and a gunman fired multiple shots.

A second rider also attended hospital later in the evening with suspected gunshot wounds.
The vehicle believed to be used in the shooting was found burnt out in Keysbourgh, south of the city, just a few hours later. Police say it is possible the parties are known to each other and this was a targeted attack.

Victoria Police's anti-bikie Echo taskforce detectives are ramping up their patrols around enemy club houses, in fear of revenge attacks. Investigators are calling on anyone who may have dashcam footage of the incident or was in the area to come forward.
