One man was killed and four others injured when several shots were fired outside a Sydney restaurant.
Police last night established a crime scene outside the restaurant in the Civic Centre Arcade at Ware Street, Fairfield, in Sydney's south-west, after a number of shots were fired about 9.40pm (AEDT).
One man died and four others injured in the shooting were taken to hospital for treatment, a police spokeswoman said.
Authorities were searching for three men last seen driving a black Honda towards Smart Street, Fairfield, the spokeswoman said.
No other details were known at this stage, she said.
