A WOMAN associated with the Notorious outlaw motorcycle gang has been charged in relation to two drive-by shootings in Sydney's west
Six people including a baby were in a house on Indigo Way, Prospect, when shots were fired at the property about 12.10am yesterday.
No one in the house was injured.
Minutes earlier, two pensioners inside a home on Taworri Rd, Doonside, escaped injury when the house was hit by a spray of gunfire.
Detectives investigating the drive-by shootings yesterday arrested a woman in a car in Leigh St, Guildford West, about 7pm after finding a revolver in her handbag.
Police believe she has ties with the Notorious gang.
The 24-year-old Prospect woman was taken to Merrylands police station and charged with possessing a firearm.
She is due to appear at Fairfield Local Court today.
Meanwhile, the Kings Cross-based Notorious are embroiled in a gang war with the Hell's Angels and Rebels over ethnic and territorial disputes.
Neighbours in Taworri Rd said yesterday the home at the centre of the drive-by had been raided by police about a year ago.
But the elderly couple at the home during the drive-by said the shooting was a case of mistaken identity.
"I heard this bang, bang, bang more than I could count and I thought that it was an electrical problem with an appliance, maybe the stove," the 64-year-old man said.
"Then I felt pain in my leg and it was glass from the windows.
"(The room) was filled with haze, smoke. I've never experienced anything like this before."
His 63-year-old wife escaped being shot in the head by about 15cm.
"If I had sat up in bed I would have been killed," she said.
The Range Rover believed to have been used in the shootings - stolen from Waterloo on March 7 - was found burning in Blacktown.
Premier Nathan Rees said yesterday he would consider changing the law to help police catch and prosecute people involved in drive-by shootings.

A NEW breed of criminal gang whose members specialise in drug dealing, extortion and violence is taking over Sydney's premier nightclub district.
Police fear the gang Notorious has become the security muscle for a Kings Cross identity.
The gang is the first known in Sydney to follow an international trend of being outlaw "bikies without bikes".
While its dozens of city-based members wear full bikie colours, only a few members ride motorcycles.
Its members range from seasoned, senior former members of the now-defunct Nomads outlaw motorcycle gang's Parramatta chapter to newly-recruited teenagers as young as 14.
They are largely from Sydney's western suburbs and of Middle Eastern and Pacific Islander background.
The gang is believed to be focused on criminal activities and have links to the security industry.
It is feared they are acting as unofficial security to Kings Cross nightclubs linked to one person in particular.
Late last month, police from the Middle Eastern organised crime squad targeted Notorious in an operation on the nightclub strip.
They arrested two alleged members of Notorious - one an 18-year-old Guildford man arrested with ecstasy tablets at a nightclub.
Court documents show he was charged with two counts of supplying a prohibited drug and two of possessing a prohibited drug.
He was refused bail and is to appear at Central Local Court on June 30.
Another, a 14-year-old from Guildford, was arrested in the same police operation while he was in a car illegally parked in the CBD. A search found more ecstasy tablets and the boy was charged with drugs supply and possession.
Police are also investigating suspected links between Notorious and a 30-year-old Kellyville man arrested last week in an alleyway behind a Surry Hills nightclub.
The man, recently released from prison, allegedly had a home-made machine gun and an ammunition magazine containing 32 bullets concealed in a bag. The man was charged with being armed with intent to commit an indictable offence, possessing a firearm and other firearm-related offences.
Notorious was also believed linked to an assault at an Eastern Suburbs pub last year.
It is speculated that Notorious came into being following a series of attacks targeting a nightclub owner ear last year, coinciding with the firebombing of the Parramatta chapter's Granville clubhouse.
Rival outlaw bikie gang the Comancheros was suspected of being behind the firebombing.
In March 2007, masked gunmen burst into a nightclub, firing shots into the ceiling and smashing up the bar. The nightclub owner's bodyguard was allegedly injured during the incident.
It is feared the Comancheros have been trying to wrestle control of the nightclub strip and conflict with Notorious may be on the agenda.
