New South Wales Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon says that they believe there were only two shooters involved — a father and son who are ages 50 and 24.
The father was a licensed gun owner, Lanyon says at a press conference, saying that they believe all his firearms have been recovered.
The father has been killed and his son, earlier identified as Naveed Akram, 24, is “in critical but stable condition,” Lanyon says.
