CCTV footage has captured the moment two masked gunmen opened fire in a Sydney kebab shop yesterday afternoon, injuring three people.
Emergency services were called to the M Brothers kebab shop in Auburn about 1.15pm yesterday after the gunmen fired eight rounds in broad daylight.
A 26-year-old man was hit in the shoulder and arm, a 47-year-old woman was shot twice in the torso and a 25-year-old man was shot in the face.

The first two victims were taken to hospital in a stable condition.
The second man, who was shot in the face, remains in a serious conditon in hospital.
9News understands the gunmen targeted Samimjan Azari, 26, who was shot in the arm and shoulder.
He has previously survived two shootings at Granville and Brighton-Le-Sands.
“One of the victims of the shooting, a 26-year-old male, we believe was the subject of two previous attempts on his life,” NSW Police Acting Commissioner Peter Thurtell said yesterday.
Thurtell said the two previous attacks are “likely to be connected” to the shooting.
The dramatic footage, obtained by 9News, shows masked men dressed in black storm the small kebab shop, while one victim attempted to defend himself with stools.

The gunmen fled the scene in a black Audi Q7 bearing cloned number plates shortly after entering the store.
Further footage shows paramedics attending the scene and helping a man lying on the floor.
Taskforce Falcon, which is led by State Crime Command with the NSW Crime Commission and designed to investigate and suppress violent crime in Sydney, has taken the lead in investigating the shooting.
Police today confirmed they are investigating the links between three burnt-out cars and yesterday’s shooting.
The cars were found burnt out on Wigram Street in Harris Park, Hilltop Road in Merrylands and Gerald Street in Greystanes.
