Straight Shooters coming up with David Elliott in a moment. We are just piecing together exactly what's transpired in Camden and Narellan over the past half hour or so. I'm looking at live video that's coming in from the Channel 9 helicopter of the Elderslie Caravan Park, which is in Camden. So I can see there's a police car and there's another emergency service vehicle at this particular caravan park. Now our understanding is that a man has been shot by the police and

likely that man has now been taken to Liverpool Hospital. So there's then been a situation nearby Norellon Road where a man has been seen by our listeners being loaded into the back of an ambulance but assisted by police with the paramedics and the police were wearing wearing armoured vests, bulletproof vests. So we still don't have official confirmation from the police about what has transpired in the past half an hour or so but certainly there has been

I'm looking at live pictures at the moment of the caravan park. There's been a shooting at a caravan park where it would appear that police have shot somebody in this caravan park. We don't know the circumstances surrounding that. From what you've told me, you've seen a police convoy heading back towards Liverpool to Liverpool Hospital. I will bring you more information as it comes to hand. On Sydney Now... You can't handle the truth! ..the Straight Shooters...

Well, the former Police Minister, David Elliott, joins me at this time every day. And, David, you can see the vision that I'm looking at at the moment of the caravan park, which it's difficult to ascertain exactly what's transpired, but this does demonstrate the dangers that police confront almost every day. Well, that's right, and we're very, very unusual in this state to see police actually draw their weapons, let alone use it. It does happen, obviously, but not compared to a lot of other jurisdictions, both here and overseas. And by the looks of it, that's a Camden patrol car with a command vehicle

vehicle from New South Wales Police and I think that you'll probably have a critical incident team there as well as a debriefing of the poor officer who's had to use that firearm today. So the critical incident is always called whenever the police open fire in these circumstances automatically it's deemed a critical incident? Yep. Okay now I can see the vision I'm looking at at the moment it is focusing on, now when I say it's a caravan park

This features some of those temporary on-site vans. There is police tape that's now wrapped around one of those on-site vans, and I'm looking from the Channel 9 helicopter at the moment, so it would appear that the incident has occurred around that on-site van. We don't know whether it was inside the mobile home or on the grounds of the caravan, but our understanding is the person who has been shot is now in Liverpool Hospital.
