NSW Police searching for gunman after shots fired at man in Sydney's north before car set on fire
A man has survived an incident in Sydney's north overnight after bullets were shot at him, while a car was found on fire shortly after.
Emergency services were called to Wilga Place, Marsfield about 1am on Saturday after reports of shots being fired.
Officers attached to Ryde Police Area Command were told a 28-year-old man was allegedly shot at after he parked and got out of his vehicle, a NSW Police statement said.
The man was reported to have been walking up his driveway when shots were fired, according to The Daily Telegraph.
Some of the bullets struck a house behind the man, police found.
A different man was seen getting into a black car and fleeing the scene after the shooting.
Officers were called a short time later to a house on Ruse Street, North Ryde, where a bullet was reportedly discovered on the floor inside a house after it broke a window.
Police believe both houses were hit in the one shooting, and it does not appear the buildings were targeted intentionally.
No injuries have been reported following the incidents.
Police also found a black BMW X4 sedan engulfed in flames after being called to Mardi Street, Girraween about 1.25am on Saturday.
Fire NSW attended and extinguished the blaze, and no injuries have been reported due to the fire.
Multiple crime scenes have been established as police continue to investigate the incidents and potential links between the incidents.
Police are urging anyone with information or relevant footage to come forward by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
The incident in Marsfield follows a targeted drive-by shooting at a Western Sydney home in the early hours of Friday morning.
Police said a house on Frank St in Mount Druitt was sprayed with up to 30 shots about 1.20am after a black car pulled up.
No one was injured in the incident, but six children are believed to have been among 11 people sleeping inside the house at the time.
