Fourth home shot at in six days
Shots have been fired into a home in Sydney’s southwest.
Nobody was injured though three people were home at the time. It’s the fourth house shot at in Greater Western Sydney in the past week.
The latest incident happened at a home on Briggs Place, St Helens Park about 7pm on Wednesday.
NSW Police said in a statement there was reports of shots fired.
A house and car have been damaged.
Witnesses told police a dark-coloured sedan was seen leaving the scene.
Police are calling for anyone with information or dashcam footage to come forward.
On Tuesday, a family of six were wrongly targeted in a drive-by shooting in the suburb of Merrylands, about 40km away.
NSW Police Acting Superintendent Darren Beeche said at the time a “coward” shot at the wrong house.
“The family in that house I believe had nothing to do with crime, gangs or drugs,” he said.
“These people have bad intelligence and it’s usually a cowardly act by a coward in the middle of the night and unfortunately they often get the wrong place.”
In nearby Blacktown a few days earlier, another house was mistakenly targeted.
A family were forced to duck for cover as their home was shot at. There were no reported injuries.
A Constitution Hill House, in between Blacktown and Merrylands, was shot at about 3.30am on Anzac Day.
