Sydney teen dies after being shot in head

15-year-old boy has died in hospital after being shot in the head while lying in bed at his southwest Sydney home.

The teenager’s family was asleep on Friday morning when a man forced his way into their Glenfield home and shot the boy, in what appears to be a targeted attack, Detective Chief Inspector Mark Brett told reporters in Sydney.

The boy was in a critical condition when police arrived at the Moresby Avenue home about 6.10am on Friday and was taken to The Children’s Hospital in Westmead.

He died later in the day.

His mother, stepfather and two young siblings, reportedly aged one and seven, were not injured but his mother was “extremely distressed”, Det Chief Insp Brett said.

He told reporters the attacker wore a face covering.

Police said earlier the attacker may still be armed and described him as being 18 to 20 years old with a thin build.
