Two people are in hospital with gunshot wounds following an alleged shooting in Lake Macquarie.
Just after 2:00am on Thursday the 21st of September, 2023, emergency services were called to Cassia Crescent at Gateshead, following reports of a shooting.
Police arrived to find a 42-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his arm and a 32-year-old woman who'd been shot in the leg.
They were both treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to the John Hunter Hospital in stable conditions.
Police have established a crime scene and have commenced an investigation into the incident, which marks the second shooting in the suburb in recent months.
Back in May, a 41-year-old man was struck in the leg after shots were fired into his home on Flame Street.
As inquiries continue, police are urging anyone with CCTV or information about the incident to contact police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
