STAFF at a Chinese language newspaper in Brisbane, where a shot was fired through a window, believe its coverage of controversial issues in China may have motivated the attack. Police told AAP that a ball bearing was fired through a window of the Epoch Times office in southeast Brisbane on Thursday at 3pm (AEST). Epoch Times Queensland spokeswoman Margaret Ramsey said six staff members were in meeting in the office when a shot pierced a hole through the front window. "It was big enough to make a hole in the window but because the glass was tinted, the window was shattered but did not crumble," she said in a statement. Ms Ramsey said she believed that an airgun had been used in the attack.
