Man dies outside shopping centre in Melbourne’s north and another taken to hospital with serious injuries

A man has been shot dead outside a shopping centre in Melbourne’s north in what police believe was a targeted attack.

Emergency workers arrived at Craigieburn Central shopping centre on Windrock Avenue just before 3pm on Saturday after reports of several shots fired.

They found two injured men in the centre’s car park.

One of the men, who is yet to be identified, died at the scene. The other man was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Shots were fired into the front windscreen of the car and there were multiple bullet holes in the window on the front passenger side.

Police have cordoned off the area and are working to determine the motive but say the shooting appears to have been targeted.
