«Some of the attacks are very violent, sometimes a number of them might kill or seriously injure people.»
He said he did not think it was clear whether the attack on the woman involved was linked to the holiday.
«It certainly looks like somebody with some level of sophistication, even with a firearm, that may have targeted a number of people and that would be unfortunate,» he said.
«Somebody with some form of sophistication has attacked people and I don’t think it’s clear that what they’re doing is random and no-one else was involved.»
Two men were taken to hospital after the attack.
