‘We heard a loud bang but we didn’t know if it was a car or a gun,’ a neighbour told the St George Shire Standard.

‘Around here we don’t know what a gun sounds like, it’s not Merrylands.’

The elderly man will be flown to St George Hospital in a critical condition. Another person suffered minor injuries, according to NSW Ambulance.

Police have established two crime scenes and investigations are ongoing, the police spokesman said.  

More to come.
