Targeted shooting at Leppington home stirs gangland fears

Shots were fired into a Sydney home overnight joining the barrage of gun violence in the city this year.

Shots fired at a home in Sydney’s southeast overnight are feared to be part of a rising spate of gang violence.

Just before 10pm, a series of shots were fired at the front of a Leppington home on Carnelian St, striking the property and a Mitsubishi Lancer parked out front.

Two men and a woman were inside of the home when the shooting took place but were uninjured.

This is the second time police have responded to shots fired into the front of this particular house after a suspected Bandido’s member was shot in the legs at the property in December 2021.

Police will allege it was a targeted attack.

A white van was seen by witnesses speeding away from the scene in a southerly direction.

Taskforce Erebus will investigate the crime scene.
