FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Victims of western Sydney’s latest round of violent gun crime are refusing to speak with police despite suffering horrific injuries in “kneecapping-style” shootings.
Three men were shot in targeted attacks over the Easter weekend, with disputes over drugs and territory thought to be among the motives.
Two of those shot have refused to co-operate with police, sparking fears that criminal associates could take matters into their own hands.
“We’re always concerned about retribution but at the same time my officers are out there every day and every night targeting these individuals,” Assistant Commissioner Frank Mennilli told AAP.
The latest spate of shootings began on Friday evening when a 24-year-old man was shot with a pistol in Patten Avenue, Merrylands.
He had surgery on two bullet wounds at Westmead Hospital on Saturday afternoon.
Then, in what police believe may be a linked incident, a 22-year-old was shot outside his home in Rickard Street, Auburn, on Saturday night.
He limped into Auburn Hospital bleeding heavily.
Both men were shot in the legs by gunmen who intended to maim their victims, police believe.
“I suppose it is a colloquial term that’s used: kneecapping,” Mr Mennilli said.
The victims refused to tell detectives who shot them, despite strong suspicions they know their attackers.
Another man, 43, was shot in the lower leg in Arnett Street, Pendle Hill, just after midnight on Sunday, with five men later arrested when police stopped their car in Granville.
A 19-year-old was charged with the shooting. Another 19-year-old was charged with being an accessory after the fact.
The three others, aged 17, 18 and 19, were charged with recklessly causing grievous bodily harm.
All five were refused bail and are due to appear in Parramatta Bail Court on Monday.
The Pendle Hill shooting happened after a dispute at a house party.
NSW Opposition Leader John Robertson said it was Sydney’s 77th shooting since March 2011.
“Western Sydney now looks more like a Martin Scorsese film set than a place where people can live,” he told reporters.
Mr Mennilli admitted the incidents were frustrating but said gun crime was falling.
“Over the last 12 months there’s actually has been a decline in the number of shooting incidents,” he said.
Police Minister Michael Gallacher accused the opposition of scaremongering.
