In Sydney, it's March 16, here's what is happening. Two men face murder charges after a shooting in Western Sydney left one person dead. The victim, known as Bassa, was shot in the lower abdomen and rushed to West Meat Hospital where he passed away. Another man showed up at the same hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening. Police tracked down a car linked to the scene and found a firearm inside. They arrested the driver, a 21-year-old man who was questioned at Gladesville Police Station. He now faces charges of murder and wounding someone with intent to cause serious harm. A second man was also charged with murder and connection to the incident. Local residents were stunned by the violence in their quiet neighborhood. One neighbor described hearing a single loud bang several hours after Bassa had returned home. The setting gunshot left the community on edge. Superintendent Robert Tointon revealed strong ties to organized crime behind the shooting. He stressed the need to uncover what led up to the confrontation at the apartment.

Both suspects have been denied bail and are set to appear in Burwood Local Court on Tuesday. The investigation continues and police are asking anyone with information to come forward.
