A 29-year-old man sustained gunshot wounds to his head and body in a shooting in Western Sydney about 9pm on September 13.
Mt Druitt Police Commander Steve Egginton told reporters the man was sitting in his car after returning home when a number of rounds were fired through the windscreen.
The man was hospitalised in a serious condition and a crime scene established on Niland Cres in Blackett.
Commander Egginton described it as an "ambush-style of attack" and said police hadn't established any links to other shootings, although the investigation was in its early stages.
