Sydney's Shadow War: Targeted Attacks Escalate in Australia's Most Vulnerable Neighborhoods A man in his 30s was shot dead in Merrylands West, Sydney, in what police believe to be a targeted attack.
This incident is not an isolated event but rather the latest installment in a disturbing trend of violence plaguing Australia's most vulnerable neighborhoods.
The shooting follows hot on the heels of another high profile incident just 24 hours prior, in which university student Marco Tapia was shot dead in his family's Glen Alpine home.
