Woman shot at casino - The Sydney Morning Herald - 8th May 2008

A woman has reportedly been shot three times at Star City Casino this afternoon.

A spokesman for the ambulance service said they had a crew at the casino in Pyrmont.

It is understood the 30-year-old woman was shot three times in her chest.

She is being taken to Sydney Hospital, according to an ambulance spokesman, suffering multiple gun shot wounds.

Police are also responding as the area prepares for the arrival this afternoon of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who is officially opening Fairfax Media's new headquarters at One Darling Island, near the casino.

The shooting does not appear to have stopped gambling or other activities at the casino and no-one has been evacuated from the complex.

Comment was being sought from police and the casino.
