masked men were waiting for victim Police have ruled out a "gay hate" motive after a man was shot in the car park of a gay and swingers sex club. Police were called to the car park of Aarows, a 24-hour "gay and social club" based in Rydalmere, just before 1am on Wednesday following reports of the multiple shooting of a 52-year-old man, who was injured in the back, legs and groin. Granville's crime manager, Inspector Glen Parks told Fairfax Media two men were waiting for the victim, who was not known to police. "There is nothing to suggest this is a gay hate crime," he said. Mr Parks said the attackers had their faces covered and ambushed the man when he was leaving the club. Aarows' patron told media they believed the shooting could be linked a lover's tiff but police said they are not ruling out anything at this stage. "A number of patrons have indicated that, but we are looking at other motives," he said. We're getting other information as part of our investigation. The Aarows club, which advertises a "Nude Day Sunday," did not answer when called by Fairfax Media. Police said the man was taken to Westmead Hospital and is in a stable condition. Mr Parks appealed for any Aarows patrons to call police if they saw the two men wanted over the incident. An Aarows patron told 2UE radio the victim was a regular customer and the attack may have been a domestic. Patrons heard up to a dozen shots before four men and staff members dragged the victim back into the club where police and an ambulance were called, they reported.
