Toddler escapes death after gunshots spray Sydney home

A young family has had a narrow escape after gunshots were fired at a home in Sydney’s north-west on Tuesday morning.

Six bullets hit the Kellyville home about 3.10am on Tuesday, but none of the three occupants of the house were injured.

A two-year-old child, a man, and a woman, both in their 30s, were inside the home at the time of the shooting.

Police attended the house on Janamba Avenue and found damage to the front windows.

Soon after the shooting, a car was found alight nearby on Gorman Avenue, also in Kellyville. The fire was extinguished, but the vehicle had already been destroyed.

The fire is being treated as suspicious while police probe whether the car was used in the shooting as a getaway vehicle.

The Kellyville attack marks the third Sydney shooting in a fortnight that has targeted a residential home.

Less than two weeks ago, a home on Nangar Crescent in neighbouring North Kellyville was targeted in a similar shooting.

Several shots were fired at the home just after 11pm on June 25. The three occupants inside the house were uninjured.

On July 3, bullets were sprayed at a home on Davidson Avenue, Concord, just after 1am. No one was home at the time of the shooting.
