Five adults and six children have escaped a home in Sydney's west uninjured after it was peppered with up to 30 bullets overnight.
The home on Frank Street in Mount Druitt was targeted about 1.20am on Friday.
A black Sedan was reportedly seen driving along the quiet street while the shots were fired before driving away, 7News reports.
Police said the attack was targeted towards one occupant of the home, who is known to authorities. A round of bullets was fired at the home and the street.
No injuries have been reported.
Police said while the house has been targeted before, the latest incident was 'worrying' given the number of children inside at the time.
'It's a targeted attack but to have no concern for other occupants inside that house including young children... is extremely alarming,' Superintendent Darrin Batchelor told reporters on Friday morning.
Detectives are investigating the motive for the attack and are knocking on neighbours doors in the hopes of securing CCTV of the street.
