Dozens of Shots Fired Into Guildford West Home, Burned Hatchback Found

Detectives are probing possible links to a Sydney gang feud following the recovery of a firearm from a burned hatchback.

Overview

  • Police were called about 12:30am to Hunt Street in Guildford West after a volley of shots hit a home with two women, aged 45 and 23, and a seven-year-old inside, none of whom was injured.
  • Security footage shows a white hatchback pull up before a gunman steps out and fires roughly 30 rounds, with numerous shell casings later seen on the street.
  • Around 3:20am, firefighters extinguished a white hatchback found alight on James Street nearby, and no injuries were reported in the blaze.
  • NSW Police say a firearm was located inside the burned vehicle, multiple crime scenes have been established, and officers condemned the attack as outrageous.
  • Investigators are examining potential links to an ongoing feud involving the Alameddine crime network and earlier arson attacks, with that line of inquiry based on police statements and sources cited by media.
