Man 'blew fingers off with homemade shotgun' IT was just after 10pm on a Monday night in Morayfield, north of Brisbane, when a gunshot rang out and neighbours heard a man screaming for help. What lead Caboolture man Lee Matthew Hillier, 34, out onto the street corner near Michael Avenue and Sharon Court remains a mystery but when paramedics arrived he allegedly screamed at them: "I've blown my own fingers off"." Police and paramedics found Hillier with severe injuries to his arm - part of his bicep had been blown off and they found one of his fingers on the roadside - after he'd been hit with his own allegedly home-made shotgun. The home-made hand gun, measuring less than 75cm in length, was found on the road and not far from one of Hillier's missing fingers. Hillier's injuries were so severe he was rushed to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital by ambulance and underwent emergency surgery. He never told police what happened. Nonetheless, police charged him with six offences in relation to the night's bizarre events, including going armed to cause fear; possessing explosives; discharging a weapon in public and dangerous conduct with a weapon. Hillier did not front Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday morning for his first appearance in relation to the incident. The matter was remanded in his absence to Caboolture Magistrates Court on March 6.
