A father protecting his primary school-aged child and partner has been fired upon at home on Tuesday morning in Melbourne’s northern suburbs.
Three offenders broke into the Craigieburn home at about 12.30am where the man, a woman, and child were sleeping, Victoria Police said.
The man confronted the offenders before one of them shot a gun, the bullet striking a table in the room, police said.
The trio then fled the house on Golf View Drive and drove off in a waiting dark-coloured SUV, which was last seen driving a few kilometres away on Aitken Boulevard.
The man, as well as the woman and child, were not physically injured during the home invasion, police said.
Anyone with information or anyone who may have witnessed the vehicle leaving the scene is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or log onto www.crimestoppers.com.au
