One dead and four injured after fatal shooting in Sydney

A man has lost his life and four others remain in a serious condition in hospital following a horrific shooting in Sydney, Australia.

Officers were called to Liverpool Hospital in Sydney’s southwest at approximately 8.30pm on Tuesday, 19 May, after reports emerged that two men – aged 28 and 32 – had arrived with multiple wounds.

Despite receiving treatment for a gunshot wound, the 28-year-old tragically passed away shortly afterwards.

He is yet to be formally identified.

The 32-year-old remains in hospital in a serious but stable condition with a neck injury.

At around 8.40pm, two further men – aged 23 and 22 – made their own way to Fairfield Hospital in serious conditions.

The 23-year-old is receiving treatment for a gunshot wound to the neck, while the 22-year-old is being treated for a shoulder injury.

Both have since been transferred to separate hospitals for further care.

Approximately an hour later, at 9.50pm, a 19-year-old man also presented at Liverpool Hospital with injuries to his arm.

He is currently in a stable condition.

A crime scene has been established by officers at a property on Arbutus Street, Canley Heights.

It is believed all five men sustained their injuries during a shooting at the property earlier that evening.

Officers from Fairfield City Police Area Command – supported by the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad – have launched a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
