A manhunt is under way after a man was shot during a home invasion in Sydney’s south-west.
At about 12.45am today, emergency services were called to a home on Mary Wade Place in Carnes Hill.
Paramedics treated a 25-year-old man for a gunshot wound to the right leg.
He was taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition.
Police were told that eight men wearing face coverings had broken into the home.
They confronted the 25-year-old before he was shot twice.
The men then poured petrol through the home but did not ignite it, before fleeing in two separate vehicles.
A shotgun was also fired at a vehicle parked in the driveway of the home.
The incident is believed to be targeted.
Anybody with information is urged to contact Liverpool Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online.
