Sydney becomes gang-war battlefront-Killers on the loose in our streets

Police are concerned that gangland war may erupt after two male victims, 24 and 25, were mercilessly gunned down last night without warning. The gunmen are yet to be found.

The incident occurred last night outside an exclusive Sydney real-estate agency in the Rocks area, within close proximity of the Sydney CBD.

A search is currently underway for the four criminals responsible,who authorities believe fired more than 20 shots from close range using semi automatic hand guns.

The incident is predicted to provoke a rise in Sydney's gang war activity.

Anti-firearm lobby groups have called for action to be taken to halt the spread of illegal hand guns in Sydney.

The NSW opposition leader John Brogden has criticised the government for letting gun crime get out of hand; "Bob Carr has run out of excuses" he stated "His policing strategies aren't working when criminals think shooting people in highly populated, tourist areas is easy".

These latest, brutal murders highlight the need for stronger enforcement in regard to gang crime and the spread of illegal weapons. Bree Wilkinson
