Horror as Sydney mum finds her kids shot dead

The suspect has since been found dead. - by Georgia Mars
  • 06 Jul 2018

A Sydney mother has arrived home to find her two children had been shot dead in their bedrooms, police have confirmed. 

NSW police believe the children, a boy, 15, and girl, 13, were killed around 5:20pm last night at their home, in the northwestern Sydney suburb of West Pennant Hills. 

The mother is recovering after being treated for severe shock.

Brett McFadden, Acting Assistant Commissioner, claimed the incident was a 'targeted incident' related to domestic violence. 

'It was a very harrowing experience for the emergency services who responded,' he said.

'You’ve got a family that is going to struggle to come to terms with it and emergency responders will struggle to come to terms with what they have seen.'

'It is what can only be described as a tragic set of circumstances for the whole family,' he added.
