Police did not release any other details, including whether they believe the shooter was still inside the building or if they believed anyone else was inside the building. “There’s tactical operations unit negotiators on the scene and the operation is continuing,” said New South Wales police Detective Inspector Mark Brett. “It’s a delicate stage and I really can’t give you much more information than that.”
One of the shooting victims was undergoing surgery, while the other had superficial wounds to the lower part of his body, Brett said.
Brett would not answer any questions, including whether police believe the shooter was holding anyone hostage inside the building.
