No one was injured, but the front of the house was strewn with bullets and two cars on the road were hit by tires.

One of the people inside the house, 18-year-old Murtada Alessawi, was rescued at the house last week, accused of being a gunman in a shootout in the suburbs in the nearby Pascoevale neighborhood on June 14.

Facing CCTV of this incident, he is seen allegedly firing an SKS assault rifle at a house, firing more than 20 meats and hitting a bungalow in the back of the property.

Police believe the shooting is related to organized crime in the Middle East that involved a number of other similar incidents in the northern and western suburbs.

Anyone with information about the shooting or the dashboard camera images should contact police.
