Horror as Mount Druitt, Sydney home sprayed with bullets as children sleep inside
A quiet suburb has been shocked by a terrifying incident as a home was sprayed with bullets in what police believe was a targeted attack. The Western Sydney home was peppered with bullets in a drive-by shooting just after 1:20am on Friday. It is believed that up to 30 shots were fired, as 11 people slept at the Frank Street home in Mount Druitt. 'We believe there was up to five adults and six children inside,' Mount Druitt police superintendent Darrin Batchelor told The Daily Telegraph. 'So obviously, the potential the seriousness of this incident is quite large.' The house had been targeted before, police said. A crime scene has now been established, and police have commenced investigations into the incident. Police said one person inside the home at the time of the shooting was known to them, but it is still unclear what the motive of the attack was. Shots were allegedly fired from a dark hatchback which fled the scene eastbound on Frank Street, police were told. Police are on the hunt for the vehicle, and multiple officers are canvassing the area for information and CCTV footage. Anyone with information or a dashcam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
