One man dead, another seriously injured in shooting outside Forest Lodge pub in Sydney's inner-city

One man has died and another has been seriously injured in a shooting outside a hotel in Sydney's inner-city. Police were called to The Harold Hotel on Ross Street in Forest Lodge about 6:40pm, following reports of a public place shooting. When officers arrived, they found two people had been shot multiple times by unknown people who fled in a car. Paramedics treated the two men at the scene, but one could not be saved. The other man was treated for gunshot wounds and was taken to hospital in a serious condition. Detectives have cordoned off part of the street with police tape, as a manhunt for the gunmen continues. Nearby resident Imogen said she heard about six "really loud bangs" but initially mistook them for fireworks. "I saw some people running across the road, so away from where the sound was coming from, and a few other people running up the road," she said. "It hasn't quite hit me yet. My family had just arrived to mine maybe 10 minutes earlier so to think they were walking at the same time [is] a bit scary." Ivan and Charlotte said they heard a number of shots. "There was probably eight to ten gunshots, and then a pause, and then another half dozen maybe," Ivan said. Charlotte said the man who was taken to hospital was conscious as paramedics treated him. "He'd been shot multiple times, maybe six times," Charlotte said. "He'd been shot in the neck, the chest, the abdomen, arms, legs, just everywhere." #moretocome

Woman charged after allegedly releasing pepper spray inside Canberra nightclub

A woman has been charged after allegedly releasing pepper spray inside a nightclub in Canberra, causing patrons to flee after experiencing breathing difficulties. Police were called to Fun Time Pony, a nightclub on Alinga St in Canberra about 1.30am Sunday after reports that an unknown chemical substance was allegedly released inside. Patrons told police they were forced to leave the club due to difficulty breathing and reports of irritated skin and eyes. Speaking to ABC, one patron said it was a 'chaotic' scene as patrons evacuated the nightclub. 'We didn't know what was happening,' he told the outlet. 'It went in my mouth and I couldn't breathe.' Police identified a 20-year-old woman was arrested by police, who allegedly located a can of oleoresin capsicum spray inside her black bag. 'Police believe this was the substance released,' a statement read. The woman has been charged with possession of an offensive weapon with intent and acting causing public harm.
