"As many as 100 shots rang out between 7.45pm and 9.30pm on Sunday night in Croydon Park. Streets were closed and the area was placed in lockdown as police launched a major operation after reports a man was indiscriminately firing at motorists, including police cars, travelling along Georges River Road. The tactical police unit was called in to arrest a 60-year-old man from a unit above a business along the busy road."
"Parry said the scene had been secured fairly quickly and praised the officers involved. They exhibited extreme levels of bravery in doing what they did, he told reporters in a late-night press conference. They were under rapid-fire gunshots on a number of occasions and should all be commended for their actions. He was unable to confirm whether officers also fired their weapons during the standoff."
