Major update after brazen shooting
Police allege three men approached the Ambarvale home of 65-year-old Kim Duncan about 11pm on Monday April 14, before a number of shots were fired in the direction of the house.
Ms Duncan was inside the house at the time, as were her 34-year-old son and a 21-year-old woman.
While her son and the woman were uninjured, Ms Duncan was shot in the leg. She died of her injuries at the scene while being worked on by paramedics.
On Wednesday, police said they had arrested a 32-year-old man at a home in Atkinson St, Liverpool.
Detectives also arrested a 19-year-old man at a home in Sudbury Street in Belmore.,
The two men have been taken to Bankstown Police Station, where they remain in custody.
No charges have been laid.
Police are also searching for a third person they believe could assist with the investigation.
Police released footage of the moment the two men were arrested, their heads down as they were led to the back of the police van.
One of the men wore a hoodie over his head as he was walked through the station, while the other was dressed in shorts and barefoot.
Addressing media shortly after the shooting took place in April, NSW Police Superintendent Grant Healy said the family was 'very, very upset'.
'It's tragic … your mother and grandmother to your children has been shot by cowards that stood out the front of the house,' Superintendent Healy said.
'Somebody coming up to a house and putting shots off is totally reckless, and the consequences are catastrophic.
'We have a 65-year-old grandmother that's been shot in the leg by people that walked up and shot at her house.'
It is understood at least six bullet holes were pictured in the front wall of the house.
Superintendent Healy said he believed the attack was targeted but it wasn't clear who the target was, nor the motivation.
NSW Police have urged anybody with dashcam or CCTV of the incident to contact them.
