Police Hunt Gunman After Kealba Home Shooting

Police are searching for a gunman after shots were fired at a family home in Kealba early Thursday morning, sparking a major investigation across Melbourne’s north-west.

The incident occurred around 1 a.m. on Rowan Drive, where an unidentified person allegedly fired multiple rounds at the property before fleeing in a white SUV. Several bullets struck the front entrance, but the five people inside were not injured.

Investigation Underway

Detectives are collecting evidence, reviewing CCTV footage, and speaking with witnesses to identify the shooter and the vehicle involved. Authorities have not confirmed a motive, and the investigation remains ongoing.

Possible Links to Other Incidents

The Kealba attack comes as police probe other violent events in the area, including a suspicious fire at a Keilor Downs property. That home was reportedly targeted in a shooting earlier in the week before being damaged in a suspected arson attack. Investigators are examining whether the incidents are connected.

Community Concerns

Residents expressed shock that a quiet residential street became the scene of gunfire. Police have reassured the public that investigations are active and urged anyone with information, CCTV, or dashcam footage to assist detectives.

Gunman Still at Large

No arrests have been made, and the gunman remains outstanding. Authorities continue to appeal for information from anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity near Rowan Drive at the time of the shooting.

The Kealba community remains unsettled but hopeful that investigators will identify those responsible and bring the case to resolution.
