Three people were shot dead in New South Wales nearly a month after the Bondi Beach attack. Police said the suspected domestic violence shooting occurred in Lake Cargelligo, west of Sydney, with the gunman still at large as authorities launched a major operation despite strict gun laws.
Almost a month after the Bondi beach shooting in Australia, three people have been shot dead on Thursday (Jan 22) in an attack in the state of New South Wales, police said. Local media reported that the gunman remained at large and the shooting was a suspected incident of domestic violence. One person has been injured in the incident and a fourth person has been taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition. Reports also indicated that gunman had fled the scene in a vehicle owned by the local council.
Reuters reported that the police said an operation was underway in the town of Lake Cargelligo, about 611 kilometres (379 miles) west of Sydney, and urged residents to stay indoors. Emergency services were called to the scene. Assistant Commissioner Andrew Holland, Western Region Commander, said in a press conference that the incident occurred at about 4:20 PM, with police called to shots fired in a vehicle. The incident comes despite New South Wales having enacted laws that limit individuals to owning no more than four firearms and require licence holders to maintain gun club membership, Reuters reported.
Bondi Beach Shooting
A father and son duo killed 15 people in a mass shooting on a Jewish festival at Bondi Beach in Australia on December 1. More than 40 people were injured in the incident. Two gunmen - Sajid Akram and Naveed Akram - were responsible for the attack. While Sajid was shot dead by police at the scene, Sajid's son was apprehended by the police. The incident was declared a terrorist act and Naveed was charged with 59 offences, including 15 counts of murder and committing a terrorist act. Notably, Australia was observing National Day of Mourning for the victims of the Bondi Beach terrorist attack on Jan 22.
