POLICE are investigating whether the shooting of a motorcyclist as
he rode down a Sydney street yesterday was gang-related.
The 28-year-old man was in a critical condition last night after
being shot in the back as he rode down Lancelot St, Blacktown with a
fellow biker at about 10am.
"The victim was riding when he heard a bang and felt a pain in his
chest," Blacktown Chief Inspector Gary Raymond said.
Despite his injury he managed to ride to a friend's house in nearby
Merlin St, where an ambulance was called.
He was rushed to Westmead Hospital in a serious condition, later
upgraded to critical.
Initial inquiries revealed the gunshot may have come from a white
car seen travelling near the riders at the time.
Police confirmed both riders were members of the outlaw Nomads
motorcycle club.
"We found some ballistic evidence - a casing and a bullet - that is
very valuable to us," Insp Raymond said.
"But what we are really looking for is someone that saw a white
Holden VR Commodore."
