Child escapes Christmas shooting in Vic

A child has narrowly escaped being shot on Christmas Day during an armed robbery in northern Melbourne.

Police say two masked gunmen burst into a home in Reservoir around 3am (AEDT) on Sunday and confronted the homeowners.

A bullet was then fired from just inside the front door.

“The projectile penetrated one of the walls, passing through the bedroom which contained two young children who were sleeping, narrowly missing one,” Detective Sergeant Murray Ryan told Fairfax Radio.

“The offenders then decamped on foot.”

At least six people were home at the time of the shooting.

Police are investigating.
