Australia - THE dark-coloured car slows as it drives along the street and a gunman pumps bullets indiscriminately into the door, windows and fibro and weatherboard walls of an ordinary suburban home.
The home is nothing special. Nothing makes it stand out. Except perhaps the surname of the people who live there.
Perhaps the bullets slam into the car belonging to the occupants of the house. The gunshots shatter the quiet.
The gunman's vehicle, probably stolen, roars off, wheels screeching, job done.
This isn't Chicago in the 1920s. It is the harsh reality of Sydney - right now. The scenario has been repeated at least 48 times since March last year - and that's only the ones reported to police.
"If people only knew how many shootings occurred in Sydney - there's a shooting on a daily basis, sometimes four or five a night," a law enforcement source said.
