Residents of Tara, in Queensland's western downs, say a shooting incident on Wednesday afternoon has stoked trauma after last month's murder of two police officers and a neighbour in nearby Wieambilla.

Four teenagers were taken into custody after reports of shots being fired in the area at 3.30pm. Police declared an exclusion zone covering several blocks in the centre of town at 5.30pm.
