Police believe a second shooting in Sydney's west last night is connected to an earlier shooting and a car and house fire.

A house and a white Toyota station wagon were set on fire and shot at on Wendy Close in Cabramatta about 12.45am.

Firefighters were able to put out the blaze, but not before the house and car both sustained significant damage.

Police were also told multiple gunshots were heard before a dark sedan fled the scene.

"I heard the gunshots, just scared the hell out of me," a witness said.

"I saw a black car, someone got out with black tracksuit pants and started the fire, and then they got back in the car and took off again."

They found bullet casings at the location after at least five shots were fired at the home.
