00:00It's been quite a tragic turn of events here in Sydney's southwest and while the police
00:07are starting to pack up their gear they have spent all morning combing through the property
00:12looking for evidence to try and piece together what just happened.
00:15But what we do know is that emergency services were called to the home behind me in Sydney's
00:21southwest suburb of Ambervale just near Campbelltown after 11pm last night after reports a woman
00:27had been shot and when the police and the paramedics arrived at the scene they found a 65 year
00:33old woman suffering a gunshot wound to her leg and while they treated her and tried to
00:39save her she unfortunately died at the scene.
00:42Now we also know there was a 34 year old man and a 21 year old woman who was at home at
00:48the time but luckily they escaped injury free.
00:51Now it's not quite known who's behind this attack and whether it was targeted or not
00:57but police say that it was carried out after multiple shots were fired at the house, fired
01:05at the house before the drivers sped away.
01:09And we spoke to some of the, one of the neighbours rather in the area about what they heard regarding
01:16the incident.
01:17Let's take a quick listen to what they had to say.
01:20I straight away got up and had a look out the back window to see if there was a car on
01:24fire or if there was any noticeable.
01:26I couldn't see anything initially.
01:28Um, and then within 20 minutes I went to bed and my whole bedroom just lit up with the,
01:33um, the lights off the police vehicles.
01:36To know that an elderly woman has passed away it's just devastating.
01:40Um, it would be, it would be just horrible, I couldn't imagine it would be just horrible.
01:45Now as the family try and deal with this shocking news today police have established a crime scene
01:51as you can see behind me and they're urging anyone in the public with information to contact
01:56the crime stoppers.
