Two men shot as Sydney rocked by separate shootings overnight
Two people are in hospital - one in a serious condition - after separate shootings across Sydney overnight.
The shootings happened just an hour apart in two different suburbs, with an arrest being made in connection with one of them. Police do not believe the two are linked.
The first shooting happened just before 8.45pm, where multiple shots were fired from a home on Northcott Road in Lalor Park, hitting a man in the street.
