FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Police believe there is a strong likelihood of retaliation after drive-by shooters sprayed two Sydney houses with bullets in possible drug-related warnings.
“There’s always a strong likelihood of retaliation,” Detective Superintendent Deb Wallace from the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad told reporters in Sydney on Tuesday.
“But we are not convinced that it will occur and often it may not occur quickly.”
Around 25 people were inside their homes when police believe separate shooters sprayed more than 35 bullets into brick, doors and glass at houses in Arncliffe and Auburn on Monday night.
Officers from the Middle Eastern Crime Squad are investigating the shootings under Strike Force Lowland, which was formed less than two weeks ago to explore the increasing supply and distribution of drugs in the St George area.
“It’s not unusual … in organised crime that parties who are battling over territory or money or profit often come into dispute with each other,” Det Supt Wallace said.
“It will be one area that we are considering.”
She said police at this stage believed the attacks were a message.
“Certainly a message was being sent,” Det Supt Wallace said.
“It was deliberate, it was targeted and it was reckless.”
Up to 10 people, including a number of children, were in the first home that was targeted in Marion Street in Auburn around 9.45pm (AEDT) on Monday.
Between 10 and 15 bullets are believed to have been fired at the home, with a woman aged in her 20s suffering a grazed leg when part of the metal front door dislodged and hit her.
Around 10 minutes later about 26 bullets were fired into a home in Arncliffe, where up to 15 people are believed to have been inside.
No one was seriously injured.
Police don’t believe at this stage the shootings were bikie-related, nor are they satisfied the two are linked.
Two burnt-out cars have been found in Kingsgrove and Berala and police are investigating whether they were involved in the shootings.
Det Supt Wallace said the people within the homes were known to police and were cooperating with investigations.
An occupant of the two-storey home in Auburn said he was standing opposite the house when bullets started flying, and he and his family were in a state of shock on Tuesday.
“I don’t see any reason why they have targeted us,” Mr Yaghi, who did not want to give his full name, told AAP on Tuesday.
Two bullets pierced the home’s metal front door, another went through the glass window in the front bedroom, and at least another two in the second storey.
“I thought it was firecrackers,” Mr Yaghi said.
He said it was “incredible” no one had been hurt, with members of his family, including a number of small children, sitting on the front porch just minutes before the shots were fired.
“A bullet pierced the front door and hit the door frame inside, just near my dad’s head,” he said.
“We’re all worried it might happen again.”
A neighbour of the family, Diane Hughes, said she didn’t sleep too well after the attack.
“I am seriously thinking it is time to move out,” she told Macquarie Radio.
Det Supt Wallace said families were always in danger in shooting incidents.
“If people in criminal networks decide to have a dispute and for whatever reason settle it through gunfights then the people that are associated with them, families, are also dragged into it,” she said.
