A shooter remains on the loose after a house in Sydney’s south-west was sprayed with bullets in the fourth shooting to rock the city in a week.
Three people were inside the home at Briggs Place at St Helens Park when an unknown shooter fired at the property at about 7pm on Wednesday.
Witnesses told police a dark-coloured Audi sedan was seen leaving the location after the alleged shooting, which damaged the house and a car.
There were no reports of injuries.
Officers have established a crime scene outside the home with anyone with information urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
The alleged shooting comes just one day after another home in western Sydney was sprayed with bullets with a burnt-out car discovered nearby.

‘The family in that house I believe had nothing to do with crime, gangs or drugs,’ he told a press conference on Wednesday.
‘These people have bad intelligence and it’s usually a cowardly act by a coward in the middle of the night and unfortunately they often get the wrong place.’
