An investigation is under way into a “targeted” shooting after a home in Sydney’s south-west was sprayed with bullets early yesterday morning.

In the early hours of yesterday, police responded to a distress call concerning a shooting incident on MacKellar Street in Casula. The call came in at approximately 2:20 a.m., after reports emerged of gunfire aimed at a residence.

Upon arrival, authorities discovered that multiple bullets had been discharged into the unoccupied house. Initial investigations suggest that as many as 40 shots were fired before those responsible fled the scene.

Law enforcement officials have indicated that this was likely a targeted attack. Superintendent Scott Tanner of NSW Police noted that the incident appears to have connections to organized crime activities. The investigation is ongoing as police work to uncover more details about this alarming event.

Police believe the shooting is targeted.

NSW Police Superintendent Scott Tanner yesterday said it may be linked to organised crime.

Tanner also had a blunt message for the alleged offenders.

“There’s only two outcomes for the people who are involved in this, and that is they’ll either go to jail or be dead,” he said.

Nobody was home at the time of the incident and there are no reports of any injuries.

The family previously living at the home moved out weeks ago to begin renovations.

Investigators said a black Audi was seen driving west along Leacocks Lane following the incident.

Families on the street have been left shaken.

“I didn’t sleep after that. You don’t expect that that close to home, that’s not on,” one neighbour told 9News.

“We’ve got kids. As soon as I heard it, I covered his ears so he didn’t wake up.”
