Homicide squad investigators are trying to establish a motive for the attack, which happened while other family members were at the property.

A gun was later found on public land at the end of Salisbury St.

The weapon was taken by police and will undergo ballistic examination.

Investigators on Wednesday spoke to residents from nearby properties about what they had seen or heard.
