Inquiries continue after police operations in Sydney’s south

Investigators are waiting to interview a man who was shot at Riverwood this morning, sparking two major police operations in Sydney’s south-west.

Emergency services were called to Methuen Parade responding to reports a man had been shot inside a home about 6.20am (Wednesday 11 November 2020).

They found a 30-year-old man suffering gunshot wounds to his legs.

He was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to hospital in a stable condition.

Officers from Campsie Police Area Command established a perimeter around the home and called specialist police to assist.

Negotiators attempted to speak with the occupants and about 7.30am, a man and a woman left the home voluntarily and were taken to Campsie Police Station.

Officers attached to the Tactical Operations Unit (TOU) entered the home before 10am and cleared the building; concluding the police operation at Riverwood. A crime scene has been established at the home and is being examined by scene of crime officers.
