A home in Sydney’s south-west has been targeted in a shooting for the second time in 48 hours, as the state’s police commissioner refuted claims gun violence is out of control.
A manhunt is under way after several shots were fired into the home on Aberdeen Street, Bossley Park about 6.30am on Friday.

A single bullet hit a caravan outside the home in one of three shootings which took place on Wednesday night.
NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said gun violence in the city’s west was “definitely not out of hand”, and cracking down on organised crime remained a top priority for police.

“We’ve made significant arrests … we will not stand for the type of violence you are seeing there,” he said.
A white Audi sedan was involved in both shootings, matching a vehicle found abandoned following a crash at the nearby intersection of Mimosa Road and Prairie Vale Road on Friday morning.

Police are searching for the driver.
A couple in their 80s living at the Bossley Park home with their grandson were left “very upset and traumatised” following the earlier shooting.
“As far as we know, they’re innocent people inside that premises,” Detective Superintendent Craig Middleton said.
Forensic officers remained on the scene on Friday morning.
