Paramedics treated the seriously injured boy at the scene before rushing him to hospital, where Superintendent Naomi Moore said he remained with his mother into the night.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is as distressed as any parent would be about what she is dealing with at the moment,\u201d the Hills District Police Area Command commander said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an absolute tragic situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd as we’ve seen some tragedy across Sydney in the last couple of days, this is not far from the worst that I’ve seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moore said it was \u201cfar too early\u201d to say what happened inside the Fairway Drive apartment but police did not believe the shooting<\/a> was linked to organised crime<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have nothing to suggest that it is organised-crime-related, but we will conduct a very thorough investigation into this,\u201d she said, seeking to calm anyone \u201cfearful on the streets out here at the moment\u201d.<\/p>\n
