A resident from Caroline Springs has shed light on the deadly ambush which occurred in the suburb late last night.

A Middle Eastern organised crime figure, Hawre Sherwani, was shot dead in the ambush in Heysen Parkway, and James told Tony Jones more about the dramatic situation on 3AW Mornings.

“My two young boys came in, and my eldest son rang the ambulance and my wife was assisting him,” James said.
