The move comes less than 48 hours after gunmen opened fire at four people travelling in a ute in western Sydney, along with two other shootings in the last fortnight. Police say it's a proactive step to prevent further violence erupting, but there are concerns people with no links to the underworld have already been caught in the crossfire.
