Police have commenced an investigation after shots were fired into a house at Fairfield overnight, NSW Police say.
About 4.10am today tomorrow, police believe that a vehicle parked in Francis Street near the intersection of Coleraine Street.
The lone male occupant of the vehicle alighted and walked towards a house and discharged several shots from a handgun.
The man returned to the vehicle, described only as a light coloured utility, and drove away.
Police from Fairfield Local Area Command were notified later and attended the home establishing a crime scene which was examined by forensic and ballistic experts.
It appears that two rounds have struck the front of the home, entering through a window into an empty bedroom and striking the wall beneath the window.
The female occupant of the home was not injured during the incident.
Police have searched the area locating several shell casings which will be further examined and have seized CCTV images from the premises.
Police have appealed for anyone with information about the incident to come forward and contact officers at Fairfield or Crime Stopers.
