A man has been charged after a teenager was shot in the leg while sitting in a parked car in a quiet Sunshine Coast suburb.
The 19-year-old was one of three people sitting in the car on Rainforest Drive, Meridan Plains, on Monday night when a shot rang out, penetrating a door and striking him in the leg, police say.
The bullet did not pierce the skin but caused bruising.
A second car, with three occupants, was parked alongside the first vehicle, police say.
A 55-year-old Meridan Plains man was on Tuesday charged with assault occasioning bodily harm while armed with a dangerous weapon, unlawful possession of a weapon and dangerous conduct with a weapon.
The man has been remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear in the Caloundra Magistrates Court on November 1.
