Police have taken a man into custody after he allegedly fired as many as 100 shots indiscriminately into a busy street in Sydney’s Inner West on Sunday evening, leaving 20 people injured.
Authorities were called to the scene on Sunday evening, where police said the suspect was shooting indiscriminately at passing vehicles, including police cars.
“There could have been anywhere between 50 and 100 shots that have been discharged,” New South Wales Police Acting Superintendent Stephen Parry said.
Two hours later, officers located the 60-year-old man in a unit above a business and arrested him. He was taken to the hospital for treatment after sustaining injuries during his arrest.
One victim self-presented at the hospital with a gunshot wound and is in serious condition, while 19 others received treatment for shrapnel or injuries from shattered glass, with several requiring hospitalisation. Witness Tadgh told ABC that he had been watching rugby when he first heard the gunfire.
“It was very loud and ‘bang, bang, bang’ and flash-bangs and sparks and smoke and the whole works. It was something out of a movie, really,” he said.
Police investigations into the incident are ongoing. Mass shootings remain rare in Australia, which has maintained a ban on automatic and semi-automatic weapons since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre, when a lone gunman killed 35 people.
