NSW police minister says government will help ‘put these gangsters behind bars’
We’ve been following the developments as another shooting has taken place in Sydney’s southwest, which has left a man believed to be in his 20s dead. It’s come less than 24 hours after a shooting in Greenacre, which is the same suburb where three were shot and wounded early last Sunday.
NSW police minister Yasmin Catley had more to say this morning, assuring the public that the police would be given all the resources needed to address the situation:
I want to assure the public of New South Wales that the NSW government will support the police with anything that they need to investigate this criminal activity and put these gangsters responsible, where they belong, behind bars.

The NSW police minister, Yasmin Catley, has described the latest shooting in Sydney as “beyond comprehension”, promising police were working their hardest to stop the violence.
