Four men have been charged after two men were shot in separate locations in Claymore in Sydney’s southwest last month.
The allegedly targeted shootings occurred in two locations about 9.30am on August 3 — one at Highfield Park off Proctor Way and the other nearby at a shop on Dobell Rd.
A man in his 30s was found with gunshot wounds to his torso following the incident on Dobell Rd, and another man was found with wounds to his head and torso on Proctor Way.

Before they were shot, the men had allegedly been forced into a car at gun point and taken to another, unknown, location and tortured with a hammer.
Both men were rushed to Liverpool Hospital, the 30-year-old man in a stable condition and the 29-year-old man in a critical condition. Both have since recovered.
On Tuesday morning, search warrants were executed at multiple homes in Western Sydney.
A police officer was allegedly assaulted during one of the searches at a Bradbury home, leading to the arrest of a 24-year-old man.
A 26-year-old Oran Park man, a 23-year-old Bradbury man, a 21-year-old Claymore man and a 22-year-old Eagle Vale man were also arrested following the home searches.
They have been charged with a string of offences ranging from intent to murder, assault, kidnapping and criminal activity of a criminal group.
Detective Superintendent Andrew Koutsoufis described the men as “serious, violent offenders”.
“They have no issue with committing extreme violence against others,” he said.
“We allege their intent was to murder these two victims. Having these men off the streets makes NSW safer.”
All four men were refused bail to appear before court on Tuesday.
It is believed the incidents were targeted.
NSW Police are expected to provide a further update on Tuesday afternoon.
