Sydney teen describes being shot by cop

A Sydney teenager has described the night he was allegedly shot by a police officer as “a horror movie.”

Justin McMaster, 19, said he was shot in his family’s Colyton home, in Sydney’s west, while trying to defend his sister during a home invasion last week.

“At first I couldn’t feel it then I felt really warm in a certain spot and then I started to get cold,” Mr Mcmaster told Nine News.
“My bowel got split into four pieces and my bladder into two, because the bullet exploded inside me.”
Police officers said Justin was only shot when he charged at them with a metal pole but Mr McMaster’s lawyer, Greg Walsh, said police were too quick to shoot.

“The mother was yelling ‘he’s my son, he’s my son’,” Mr Walsh told Nine.

Mr Walsh claimed a male officer who fired his handgun said “oh sh!t I’ve shot him” after discharging his weapon.

The Mcmaster family said the attack had left them traumatised, and they were living in fear that the home invaders could return.

The family is considering taking legal action against New South Wales Police.
