Tracey Williams, a community leader, said, “This is absolutely nonsense. A bullet missed a five-year-old child and entered a flat where a granny and child were inside. We need more than the police in our community as even their vehicles are shot at, indicating the brazen lawlessness in which these shooters operate. We need urgent intervention in Wentworth.”
