Nine News reports a gunman remains on the run, and no arrests have been made.
Officers have been told the man was seen arguing with another man in a supermarket car park in Bayswater just before 4pm, and is now in hospital with serious injuries.
Footage from the scene shows what appears to be a man in a V-necked polo shirt, smeared with blood. Police have cordoned off a car park outside a Coles supermarket and a block of units.
A witness told Nine he heard a cracking sound, and turned to see a black BMW with no number plates speeding through the car park.

“That’s when I heard some bloke holding his stomach in his hands say, ‘Call a f—ing ambulance’,” the witness said.
Paramedics confirmed they took the man to hospital, but did not disclose which hospital.
