An investigation is under way after a public place shooting at Bradbury in the early hours of Monday which may have been a case of mistaken identity.

Police say they responded after receiving reports a shot had been fired into the front of a home on Taber Place.

A 47-year-old female occupant was in her lounge room when she heard a loud noise from outside the front of the home at about 1.20am.

When the woman woke in the morning, she found a hole in the metal screen door at the front entrance of the home, and damage to the wooden door immediately behind it.

Both the woman and a 13-year-old girl who was also in the home at the time, were not injured.

Police established a crime scene and commenced an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Following inquiries, officers seized a projectile from inside the home.

As investigations continue, detectives believe that although the incident was a targeted attack, it was a case of mistaken identity.

Anyone who may have information or dashcam footage should contact police at Campbelltown City Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
