A man has been shot and two people threatened with a knife in separate early morning attacks in the NSW city of Queanbeyan, near Canberra.
Detectives have launched an investigation into whether the two incidents are linked.
Police said at 6:15am today, an unknown man got into a car parked outside KFC on Wanniassa Road in Queanbeyan East.
