A police officer involved in the Sydney drug raid which ended in the death of Constable William Crews is "unsure" whether he fired the fatal shot, according to reports.
Constable Crews was among eight officers from the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad who were carrying out the raid at the Bankstown home on Wednesday night.
A man inside the home who was suspected of dealing drugs allegedly opened fire when the officers burst in, and five shots were exchanged.
Police have not ruled out that a young officer at the scene may have accidentally killed Constable Crews in the firefight.
"The young man can't be sure one way or the other if he may have shot his mate," Police Deputy Commissioner Nick Kaldas told the Sydney Morning Herald.
Constable Crews was reportedly shot twice in the body, with one of the shots travelling up and hitting him in the head.
Tests are being carried out to see if he was the victim of friendly fire.
Eight people were taken into police custody over the incident, and two men were charged, although no drugs were found at the property.

seven soldiers face charges relating to helping to cover up the killings and to the bashing of a soldier who had blown the whistle on the rogue unit by reporting other abuses, which included members regularly smoking hashish stolen from civilians.
