Police in Sydney are investigating multiple violent incidents involving minors. On September 19, authorities reported two separate attacks: a shooting in Norwest that left an 11-year-old boy in critical condition, and a stabbing in Earlwood that left a 17-year-old boy in serious condition. As the investigation into the Norwest shooting progressed, the 11-year-old victim remained on life support. While initial reports downplayed links to organized crime, investigators began probing potential connections between the boy’s family and the Sydney underworld, noting that the boy’s father’s residence had been the target of a drive-by shooting the previous year. ~~Regarding~~ On September 24, authorities confirmed that the 11-year-old boy died in a hospital three days after being shot in the face and neck at a Norwest ~~incident, five uninjured people were~~ apartment.
