Police say the father of a man shot dead execution-style on the New South Wales south coast last night wrestled with the gunman moments after the attack.
Darko Janceski, 32, was shot several times early last night when a gunman arrived at his father’s Berkeley house on a motorbike.
Superintendent Wayne Starling says the father heard the shots and ran outside to confront the man responsible.
“The father has also raced out when he’s heard the gunshots fired and engaged in a fight with the person who fired the shots,” he said.
“A number of superficial wounds were sustained by Darko’s father and he’s been treated by ambulance [authorities] and is in a satisfactory condition.”
The man who fired the shots escaped on a motorbike.
Superintendent Starling says no-one has been arrested yet, but Darko Janceski was known to police.
Police say Darko was shot in the leg during another attack two months ago and his home was firebombed.
Superintendent Starling has tried to allay the fears of anxious neighbours who heard the shots ring out.
“I don’t believe neighbours or the wider community have anything to be concerned about at the moment,” he said.
“I don’t believe this to be a random shooting. I believe this to be a targeted attack.”
Police say they are investigating a number of motives and are talking to witnesses.
