Just after 8pm on Wednesday, June 9, emergency services were called to a home on Queen Street in Stockton, following reports of a shooting.
“A 61-year-old woman answered her front door before she was shot; she died at the scene and was later identified as Stacey Klimovitch,” NSW Police said in a statement today.
