Police spoke with a man and woman at the scene and were told a third man fled on foot.

The woman, from Blackett, was arrested and later charged with possessing ammunition without holding a licence/permit/authority and hindering an investigation into a serious indictable offence.

Police will allege in court she concealed a discarded firearm magazine following the shooting.

A crime scene was established and police canvassed the area with assistance from the Dog Unit and Pol Air but the man who ran away could not be found.

A second crime scene was established at a nearby home on Mitchell St after a firearm was found behind a shed.

The woman was refused bail and is due to appear at Parramatta Bail Court on August 1.
