Robbery and Serious Crime Squad detectives have charged a man for his alleged involvement in a violent home invasion and shooting last year.
About 12.45am on Tuesday 11 June 2024, emergency services responded to reports of a man being shot in a house on Mary Wade Place at Carnes Hill.
NSW Ambulance paramedics treated a 25-year-old man for a gunshot wound to the right leg. He was taken to Liverpool Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
Officers from Liverpool Police Area Command were informed that seven men wearing face coverings allegedly forced entry into the premises.
The men were allegedly armed with a semi-automatic pistol, a shotgun, knives, a sledgehammer, baseball bat and jerrycan of petrol.
A 25-year-old male resident of the home confronted the group before he was shot.
Two other residents inside the home were not injured.
Petrol was then poured on the front door and it was set alight before the men left the location in two separate vehicles.
During the incident, shotgun damage was sustained to a vehicle parked in the driveway of the home.
A crime scene has been established by local police, before the matter was referred to State Crime Command's Robbery and Serious Crime Squad under Strike Force Valerie.
