NSW police say shots were fired at a business on the busy main street of inner-west suburb on Friday afternoon

Witnesses to a brazen shooting at a hairdresser in the Sydney suburb of Marrickville at lunchtime on Friday have described seeing the two victims talking after they had been shot and residents fleeing for safety.

Police said the shooting at a salon on Marrickville Road, the inner-west suburb’s bustling main strip, at 1.50pm, was “obviously a targeted attack” and were exploring whether it was linked to another daylight shooting in Bondi Junction last month. The victim in that shooting was Sydney drug kingpin Alen Moradian.
