Story summary

A 21-year-old man has been shot by police in the suburb of Glen Alpine, Sydney's southwest, after being reported as making threats during what is believed to be a domestic incident. NSW Police responded to Strathmore Place around 12:25 pm on Thursday, where they found the man allegedly armed with a firearm and subsequently engaged in a confrontation that led to him being shot in the stomach. He was taken to Liverpool Hospital in serious condition. A critical incident has been declared, and its investigation will be overseen by the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission. The exact nature of the threats and whether they involved domestic violence is not specified beyond speculation from local media reports.
