A MAN has been found dead in a house in southwestern Sydney and another man is in hospital after being found with gunshot wounds in the same street.
Police say they found the dead man's body at the back of a house in Lumeah Avenue in Punchbowl after receiving reports of shots around 4.10 pm (AEST) on Tuesday.
Another man was found at the front of the home with gunshot wounds and has been taken to hospital.
The injured man, who suffered at least five gunshot wounds, was taken to St George Hospital in a serious condition.
Both men were shot inside the premises and it is believed the owners were not present at the time of the incident.
Police did not know the ages of the victims or if they were armed at the time of the incident.
A manhunt for possibly two suspects began shortly after the shooting.
"We will be seeking further persons who are believed to have left the premises shortly after the shooting," Superintendent Michael McLean told reporters at the crime scene.
Police have roped off three separate crime scenes, where the shooting took place in Lumeah Avenue, in Christian Road where the incident may have spilled into and nearby Werona Ave where at least two spent shell casings were found on a nature strip.
Police have not ruled the offenders may have dropped the spent shell casings in an attempt to discard evidence.
Police are beginning to allow residents back into their homes.
According to a neighbour who spoke to an eyewitness to the incident and who would only give his name as Lionel, two men arrived at a home being renovated in Lumeah Avenue where at least three workers were on the scene.
"As I understand it there were two shooters with balaclavas," Lionel told AAP.
"They approached the building site where there were three workers, one of whom was shot five times."
Police believe that victim was the man who survived the attack.
"Two men ran off up the street screaming 'call the police, call the police'," Lionel said.
"And they ran into a house around the corner.
"And a girl heard them screaming and she phoned the police."
Dozens of neighbours remained just outside the crime scene.
"I didn't see nothing, I don't say nothing," one man who would not give his name told AAP.
"That's the way it goes around here."
Another young man said the neighbourhood has recently had its troubles.
"Someone got their knees capped over there," he told AAP as he pointed to a house in adjacent Christian Road.
"You can see no one's worried around here. We're used to it."
