Guards shot a man dead during a bungled robbery of an armoured car in Parramatta last night.
Two masked men, one carrying a firearm, threatened two Armaguard security guards after their van had stopped outside an NAB bank on George Street about 6.30pm, police said.
One of guards then allegedly shot one of the men forcing them to flee.
A third guard waiting outside then also allegedly fired his weapon at one of the men.
Acting Superintendent David Egan-Lee said two of the guards allegedly shot at the masked men, wounding one, before the two men fled in a
white Mitsubishi Lancer with stolen number plates.
A 25-year-old man with a bullet wound was dropped at Auburn Hospital, but was dead when staff found him.
Police are reluctant to say the man was shot dead by the guards until they have conducted tests.
The robbers were armed with at least two weapons, one of which was a pistol that was recovered at the scene.
Superintendent Egan-Lee said the two shots were fired by the guards and one of the robbers was hit in the chest.
They escaped through a back lane and the Mitsubishi Lancer was seen driving erratically. The robbers were wearing dark hooded jackets and scarves across their faces.
It is believed that none of the guards or the surviving masked man was injured.
The getaway car was later found by police burnt out in Berala.
Police established crime scenes in George Street and at Auburn Hospital.
Noisy protest
Last night, officers also had to contend with a large crowd of people, believed to
be friends and family of the dead man, who staged a noisy and threatening demonstration outside Auburn Hospital.
Soon after the man's arrival at the hospital, a large group of people arrived outside and began shouting, a hospital spokeswoman said.
"A very large number of people, around 100, converged on the hospital ... I believe they may have been friends and family of the deceased man," she said.
The police dog squad and specialist police were called in when the crowd began threatening staff and police officers.
TNB at its finest.Threatening staff trying to save lives, not the 'guilty'.
With the Polair helicopter in support, the crowd was dispersed without incident, a police spokeswoman said.
Police said they will be referring to CCTV footage and witness statements to investigate the full circumstances of the shooting, including the series of events leading up to why the security guards used their guns.
Police say Strike Force Panima will hopefully have evidence on whether the two incidents are linked today.
