Two men are fighting for life after a brazen drive-by shooting near one of Sydney’s busiest intersections.
Police were called to Church Street beneath the M4 overpass in Granville in the city’s west shortly after 5pm on Sunday.
Two men were found at the scene with multiple gunshot wounds and were rushed to hospital in critical conditions.
One of the men were shot in head.
Two other men in the same car were uninjured.
Eight ambulances attended the scene, including two specialist medical teams.
An abandoned car was found alight a short time later in a carpark 3.5km away in Todd St, Merrylands.
Firefighters extinguished the blaze but the car was destroyed.
‘Police will be investigating if the two incidents are linked,’ a police statement read.
‘A crime scene has been established at both locations.’

That gunman remains on the run.
