A woman has issued a stern warning to the gunmen who wrongfully attacked her home during a terrifying drive-by shooting.
At least six shots were fired at the house on Myall Street in Merrylands, western Sydney, about 10pm on Tuesday.
CCTV cameras from a neighboring property showed a white Hyundai hatchback driving past the duplex, which was then riddled with bullets from the vehicle.
Disability support worker Sheena Williams was inside the house at the time, along with five other people, including several children.

Chilling CCTV footage captured the moment the white Hyundai hatchback (pictured centre) arrived at the property before multiple shots were fired.
“We see on the news every day that (shootings) come very close to home, but for them to actually happen on our doorstep is another story,” he said. 7 news.
“We have come here for a better life and this is what we get.”
Nobody was hurt.
Williams pleaded with the gunmen to stay away after police declared the incident a case of mistaken identity.
“Whoever did this, I tell you not to come to this house, we have nothing to do with the business you are in,” he said.
An abandoned hatchback was found on fire shortly afterwards 10km away in Bass Hill.
Police are investigating whether the abandoned burning car is linked to the Merrylands shooting.
Acting Superintendent Darren Beeche said the home was unfairly targeted in a case of mistaken identity.
“I think the people in the house who were attacked had nothing to do with criminal gangs or drugs,” he told reporters.
“These people have had poor intelligence, late intelligence and it’s usually a cowardly act by a coward in the middle of the night and unfortunately they often come to the wrong place.”
The latest drive-by shooting is the second incident in just a few days, after a young family living in a home in Blacktown was attacked on Saturday night.
The incident was another case of mistaken identity, and the family is now looking for a new home out of fear for their safety.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers.
