Video: Police shoot teens in Kings Cross
(ABC News)
The Police Association of New South Wales says the officers who shot two Indigenous teenagers in Sydney this morning did the right thing.
Police say six young Aboriginal men were in a stolen car on the main strip of Kings Cross early this morning when they were noticed by local officers.
The car then mounted the kerb and ran over a 29-year-old woman. Officers fired several times at the car.
The 14-year-old driver and 18-year-old front seat passenger were struck by bullets and are both in hospital.
The incident is the third police shooting in NSW in less than a month.
Association president Scott Weber says the officers had to make a split-second decision and he supports their actions.

“We’re damned if we do, damned if we don’t. But in this situation, police officers did the right thing,” he said.
“We had numerous pedestrians injured, we had numerous people jumping out on the road of the vehicle, trying to run away for their lives.
“What they did do is stop the vehicle and prevent any further injuries to the community.
“It was the only thing they could do.”
Television footage of the incident shows police trying to resuscitate one of the teenagers before he was taken to hospital.
The 14-year-old boy is in a serious but stable condition, while the older boy is listed as stable.
Four other teenage passengers are assisting police with their inquiries.
The 29-year-old woman who was pinned beneath the car sustained chest injuries and is being treated in hospital.

Meanwhile police have met with Indigenous leaders in Redfern in an effort to diffuse tension within the community, and are considering deploying more units to the suburb to prevent any potential unrest.
A spokeswoman for the family of one of the injured boys, Christine Nash, says she understands there has already been retaliation in Redfern over the shooting.
“The family has asked me to emphasise this has got nothing to do with Redfern,” she said.
“They don’t wish anymore trouble to be stirred up.
“I understand there has been some already this morning and they would like you to remember that this happened in Kings Cross. [It’s] totally unrelated to Redfern and totally unrelated to any bikie shootings.”
Ms Nash has called for any witnesses to come forward.
She has asked any witnesses to contact Redfern Indigenous leader Mick Mundine, who is also a friend of one of the boy’s families.
The incident follows several other recent police shootings in the state. In late March, officers shot dead Darren Neill at Parramatta Westfield after he had been on a violent rampage.
Last Sunday, officers in Tenterfield in the state’s north shot dead a man who they say was threatening them on a commune.
