The police suspect the shooting on Tuesday night in Campsie might be gang-related, but they haven't made any such claims about the Blackett incident.
Police are looking into whether these two incidents are connected. A statement from the New South Wales Police said,
"Around 9 pm on Wednesday, emergency services were called to Niland Crescent, Blackett, after reports of a man being shot. Officers from the Mount Druitt Police Area Command found a 29-year-old man with gunshot wounds to his body and head. He was treated on-site and taken to Westmead Hospital in serious condition. Police have set up a crime scene and are investigating."
Incredibly, the man who was shot in Campsie on Tuesday narrowly survived another shooting in 2020.
