Detectives investigate Sunbury shooting

Armed Crime Squad detectives are investigating after a man was shot in the leg in Sunbury this morning.

Detectives have been told the victim parked his car outside a Belleview Drive residence when he was shot in the leg by a male offender just after 1am.

The gunman fled from the scene in what is believed to be a white or silver 4WD.

The 57-year-old Sunbury man sustained non-life threatening injuries and was transported to hospital.
