Two Shootings in Two Hours Rock Sydney Suburbs as Police Investigate Drive‑By Attack
Sydney, Australia — Two separate shooting incidents within hours have shaken suburbs in Sydney’s western region, triggering an ongoing police investigation into violent drive‑by attacks that saw gunfire directed at a residential property late Tuesday night.
According to authorities, a gunman fired multiple shots at a home in Colyton, in Sydney’s west, from a vehicle in what has been described as a targeted drive‑by shooting. The shooter fled the scene shortly after the attack, and while there were no reported injuries, a person was inside the residence at the time of the incident.
Just two hours earlier, another nearby property in the region was also struck by gunfire in a similar drive‑by attack, prompting heightened concern among local residents and law enforcement. Police have confirmed that both events are under active investigation, though it is not yet clear whether the two shootings are linked.
Local authorities are urging anyone with dashcam or CCTV footage from the area to come forward to assist ongoing inquiries. No arrests have been made so far, and police continue to piece together the motive behind these brazen assaults.
