NSW:Shot Sydney girl recovers from surgery
An 11-year-old girl is recovering from surgery .. after being shot in the thigh by
a man who'd knocked on the door of her southwestern Sydney home.
Police are appealing for witnesses to the overnight shooting .. which they believe
was a random attack.
A frustrated gunman fired about 11 bullets into the home on Roberts Road at Greenacre
about 10.35 (AEDT) .. one of which struck the girl in the leg.
Police say the man knocked on the door of the home .. but became upset and began firing
indiscriminately when told a person he was looking for didn't live there.
Acting Inspector KATE PAGE has told Fairfax Radio Network .. the girl was apparently
an "accidental" victim .. and police hope to interview her later in the day to get more
details of her attacker.
A 16-year-old boy gashed his foot badly .. apparently while avoiding the shots.
Police aren't ruling out a connection between the shooting and a stabbing earlier in
the night at nearby Chester Hill.
Forensic experts are still examining the scene at Greenacre .. and are conducting a
canvass of the area.
