A TEENAGER was shot dead on a basketball court at a school on Friday night and a 15-year-old was shot dead in his sleep on Saturday morning in separate murders.

The 18-year-old was on the court with two other males when they were approached by three males dressed in hooded jackets.

There was a confrontation that led to the victim leaving the area, but one of the males in hooded jackets pulled out a gun and opened fire on the group, hitting the 18-year-old.

He was taken to hospital by emergency services but succumbed to his wounds.

In the second incident, at about 3.15am on Saturday, the 15-year-old was asleep in his bed in a residence on Smith's Lane off Wulff Road when someone forced open a bedroom window and fired shots inside, hitting the teenager multiple times.

Emergency services attended the scene but there were no signs of life.

Acting on information, police arrested two 15-year-old boys.

Police were alerted to both shootings by ShotSpotter technology.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 911, 919, CID on 502-9991 or Crime Stoppers on 328-TIPS (8477).
