NSW:Eight children in home when gunman fired
A gunman is on the run after wounding a young girl when he fired nearly a dozen bullets
into family home in Sydney's southwest.
The 11-year-old girl was hit in the right thigh when the man fired into the house in
Roberts Road in Greenacre late last night .. while a 16 year old boy injured his foot
avoiding the shots .. there were six other children in the house at the time.
Police say the father of the children answered the door and spoke to the gunman ..
soon after he closed the door he heard about 11 shots.
Police Superintendent DAVID EARDLEY says it was probably a case of mistaken identity
or mistaken address because the law abiding and well respected family have lived at the
home for a long time.
The gunman is believed to be about 20 years old .. 175cm tall .. possibly of Pacific
Islander appearance and with a large build.
Police say a red Holden Commodore .. which was found on fire soon after the shooting
in nearby Shellcote Road .. may also be linked to the crime.
