On Monday afternoon, an 11-year-old boy was shot in the face and neck inside a home on Fairway Drive, Norwest, Sydney. Paramedics were called around 5pm, treating the critically injured child at the scene before transferring him to Westmead Children's Hospital. Five other people present during the shooting were unharmed.
Police established a crime scene and arrested three men aged 18; one was charged with concealing a serious indictable offense, refused bail, and will appear in court on Tuesday. NSW Police Superintendent Naomi Moore stated there is no evidence linking this incident to organized crime but promised thorough investigation.
The shooting sparked debate over gun control policies between the Labor government and opposition parties, highlighting concerns about public safety amid rising fears of firearms-related incidents in Sydney's northwest suburbs.
