FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Detectives have expressed frustration over Sydney’s latest shooting after a man who was gunned down at close range in a suburban street refused to say who attacked him.
The 24-year-old, from southwest Sydney, was shot at least twice in the legs in Patten Avenue, Merrylands, in the city’s west about 5.20pm (AEST) on Friday.
He was having surgery at Westmead Hospital on Saturday afternoon.
Assistant Commissioner Frank Mennilli believes the victim, who is well known to police, knows exactly who shot him.
He has been interviewed by detectives, but said very little about the attack and refused to reveal the gunman’s identity.
“Once again, this shooting was a targeted incident,” Mr Mennilli told reporters in Sydney on Saturday.
“He is not an innocent bystander.
“It was a targeted incident where we have an individual who’s been involved in a criminal enterprise with another person.
“It’s then turned into a cowardly attack.”
The NSW opposition says it’s Sydney’s 75th shooting since March 2011 and the 11th in Merrylands over the same period.
Opposition Leader John Robertson called for the state government to convene a crisis meeting with senior police.
“A city where people fire at each other on street corners in broad daylight – you might expect that in Mexico City or Mogadishu but not Sydney,” he said in a statement on Saturday.
“The NSW Labor opposition demands that the premier return to work and set up an immediate crisis meeting of law enforcement officials.
“The first item he should sign off is a massive increase in western Sydney police numbers.”
Opposition police spokesman Nathan Rees said the Greater Sydney region was 242 police officers below authorised strength.
But Mr Mennilli said more police wouldn’t necessarily solve the issue.
“At the end of the day you can have a police officer on every corner but you’re not going to be able to prevent these shootings because these are targeted shootings,” he added.
“They’re individuals involved in criminal enterprises, targeting themselves when they end up having a dispute whether it be over drugs, turf or just a matter of who’s got more power than the other.”
