A man and a woman have woken to gunfire in Melbourne’s north in the latest drive-by shooting in the city.

Officers were called to a home at Excelsior Heights at Craigieburn at 12.10am on Thursday after bullets sprayed the property.

The pair inside, aged in their 50s, were uninjured.

About 12 bullet holes were seen in the front windows of the home.

“It is believed a number of shots were fired towards the home causing extensive damage to the front of the residence,” a police spokeswoman said.

“Police will investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Officers urged anyone with information to come forward.

The drive-by shooting is Melbourne’s latest, with police also investigating an incident at Endeavour Hills in Melbourne’s south-east early on Wednesday.

Police said a 17-year-old boy was “extremely lucky” to be alive after that shooting. It came after a car apparently circled in Janmara Court before it stopped outside the boy’s home and several rounds were fired at his house.

The teenager, who was asleep at the time, suffered an upper body injury. He was taken to hospital in a stable condition.

Police were searching for at least two people over the “targeted” incident, but said neither the boy nor his family members inside were the intended victims.

The boy’s family members were not injured in the Endeavour Hills incident.

Another shooting at Dandenong on Sunday night was also targeted, police said, so a random gunman wasn’t going around firing at homes indiscriminately.
