A man was arrested after allegedly firing dozens of shots indiscriminately in a Sydney, Australia, neighborhood, injuring at least 16 people before being taken into custody, according to police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New South Wales police said<\/a> the gunman fired \u201cindiscriminately\u201d at people and vehicles, with Assistant Commissioner Trent King estimating that at least 50 rounds were discharged before the suspect was subdued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man in his 50s was struck in the neck and chest and remains in critical condition after surgery, according to 9NEWS<\/a> Australia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three other people sought treatment for minor wounds at a nearby police station, while paramedics treated 16 people at the scene for cuts, falls, and other minor injuries. Two of those were later taken to hospitals for additional care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several cars, including a police vehicle, were struck by gunfire, though no officers were injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heavily armed police surrounded the area and entered a building where the suspect had barricaded himself. He was arrested about two hours later after being wounded during the confrontation. Several firearms were recovered at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police have launched an investigation into the motive for the attack, describing the incident as a \u201cmajor operation\u201d that drew large numbers of emergency personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shootings are rare in Australia, where strict gun control laws were enacted after the 1996 Port Arthur massacre that killed 35 people. The country has since seen few large-scale shooting incidents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
