Two men, who police believe are stepbrothers, have been taken to hospital with critical injuries after a shooting on a remote property in the NSW Hunter region.
Police were called to a property at Bingleburra Road, Bingleburra, after reports of a shooting at about midday.
One man, aged 35, was found with a gunshot wound to his chest.
The younger man, aged 28, had run away from the scene but was found nearby with a gunshot wound to his head.
It is believed the men were attending a family gathering when the shootings occurred.
The two men were treated at the scene by NSW ambulance paramedics before being airlifted to John Hunter Hospital.
Both men are in a critical condition, a spokeswoman for NSW Health said.
Police from the Port Stephens-Hunter district have set up a crime scene and are investigating what happened.
Police are describing the incident as domestic-related.
