A 28-year-old man who survived being shot multiple times remains under police guard in hospital as investigators search for his attacker. Detectives believe the man may have been targeted in previous shootings and are investigating potential links to an underworld dispute.
A man who survived a hail of bullets remains under police guard in hospital as investigators search for an attacker they fear may strike again. Detectives are still waiting to speak with the 28-year-old, who they say could have been targeted in previous shootings. The man was found with four gunshot wounds to various parts of his body outside a house at Winston Hills, in Sydney ’s west, which was peppered with bullets about 10.50pm on Wednesday.
“Obviously we have concerns about the male being targeted and whether that may present other opportunities for the offenders that we’re looking for,” Vincent said. “The greater concern we have as well is the risk to the members of the public and the community.” Specialist forensic police were examining the crime scene the morning after the shooting, which resulted in numerous bullet holes at the front of the home, located in a quiet suburban cul-de-sac.
