Are we on the brink of an underbelly-style gang war?

Three high profile shootings in Sydney already this year have raised fears about a wave of gang violence.

Two of the shootings involved innocent bystanders... a nurse almost died after being shot, the wrong guy was shot dead after a boxing match and a senior gang member was brazenly shot dead while sitting in his car, all in the space of a few weeks between late January and mid-February.

Former NSW organised crime detective Ryan Jeffcoat joins us to find out if Sydney’s on the cusp of an underbelly style gangland war... and what police are doing to keep people safe.
