Disputed Details
Conflicting information
The core incident is consistent across sources, but some details are not settled by the reviewed material.
Some coverage frames the shooting as occurring in the early hours of 28 December 1999. Reuters and ABC trial coverage identify it as 27 December 1999.
The Guardian article dated 28 December describes the shooting as occurring in the early hours of the previous morning. Later magazine retrospectives also use 28 December wording.
Reuters and ABC trial coverage explicitly identify the incident as 27 December 1999.
The most likely reason is overnight timing and publication-date framing, but the reviewed sources do not fully resolve it.
Sources consistently report three injured people, but they do not all describe responsibility for each wound in the same way.
States Barrow was later convicted of assault after two bystanders were wounded, while Reuben was wounded by bullet fragments.
Trial and sentencing coverage reports three wounded people and conviction details, but does not settle every ballistic attribution in the same terms.
The injury count is stable; the exact allocation is not fully settled in the reviewed source set.
