Sydney: Australian police announced that 20 people were injured in a shooting incident on a busy street in Sydney. Police said the suspect was shooting indiscriminately at passing vehicles, including police vehicles, before being arrested.

According to Qatar News Agency, Stephen Parry of the New South Wales Police stated that there were between 50 and 100 shots fired. Police arrested a man in his 60s, the suspected shooter, and he was transferred to hospital for treatment of injuries he sustained during the arrest.

Police reported that one of the injured was in critical condition, while 19 other people were treated for injuries caused by glass shards. Mass killings and random shootings are rare in Australia, where gun laws are extremely strict. In 1996, 35 people were killed in Port Arthur, Tasmania.
