A bullet hole pierced the window of their Blacktown home just centimetres above her five-year-old son's head.
"I just told him to bend down. It could be just one second, one second difference," she said.
Kaur managed to get her phone and call police as the shooter fled.
CCTV captured the moment a ute drove up and down the street in the moments before the ambush.
Police later seized a Ford Ranger eight kilometres away in Eastern Creek.

"It was abandoned but because police believe that it has a link to the shooting it was declared a crime scene," NSW Police Inspector Kylie Evans said.
Two weeks ago up to nine shots were fired into the couple's bedroom window.
Kaur and her family weren't home at the time.
"This family is innocent and we believe that this is a mistaken identity," Evans said.
No one was injured in either of the alleged shootings but the psychological trauma has forced the family to seek out a new home.
"We really don't want to move but we have to," Kaur said.
