Western Sydney Riot: Shootings, Arrests, and Community Shock

0:00Western Sydney saw a wild night of violence on Wednesday, kicking off around 8.40pm in Greenaker. A riot squad sergeant fired shots at a stolen Toyota SUV after the driver pinned him between two cars to Dodge Arrest. That 39-year-old officer got leg injuries and ended up in the hospital stable. Police chased a 32-year-old driver to a backyard in Ride, just blocks away. He had gunshot wounds to his arm and shoulder, but was also stable after paramedics treated him on site. They found the abandoned SUV nearby with three bullets through the windshield. Two cops landed in the hospital from the chaos, including a chief inspector who got punched in the head multiple times by the driver's 30-year-old, associate outside the hospital. That spot had a bullet riddled Mercedes parked up too. The associate now faces charges for assaulting an officer and heads to Burwood local court today. Everyone involved seemed stable, but the night's events shook up the community. Officers are still digging into both shootings this morning, piecing together what went down
