The terrifying moment two men exit a black SUV before unleashing a volley of bullets at a home in western Sydney has been captured by CCTV.

The security footage captures the terrifying moments the cul-de-sac is filled with the sounds of gunfire as more than half a dozen shots are fired into a home, leaving neighbours terrified.

Moments after the gunshots, two men were seen “jumping in a car” and speeding off.

Not long after the house was sprayed with bullets, a burnt-out car was found nearby.

Just before 10.45pm on Thursday, officers from Riverstone Police Area Command were called to the street in Marsden Park, following reports of gunfire.

Upon arrival, police found several shots had been fired into a house but no injuries were sustained.

Around 35 minutes later, at about 11.20pm, emergency services responded to a car fire in a park on Oramzi Rd, Girraween.

The vehicle was completely destroyed despite efforts from Fire and Rescue NSW crews to extinguish the blaze.

Back at the scene of the shooting, Pat Nario said he was half asleep when he heard the gunshots.

“My wife was watching a movie and then all of a sudden we heard some gunshots,” he said.

“She straight away peeked out the window and she saw a couple guys jumping in the car and shooting off.”

Mr Nario said the gunshots were “loud” and his family were “rattled” by the incident.

Another neighbour, who did not want to be named, was on his balcony when he saw the black car enter his street.

“I thought it was like a delivery driver,” he said.

“(The car) was there for about a minute or two and then made a U-turn.”

He said he heard “firecrackers” which he then realised were gunshots.

Police have launched inquiries at both locations and are investigating whether the two incidents are linked.

Police have said the current occupants of the house were not the intended targets.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via the Crime Stoppers website.
