A 11-year-old boy has been taken to hospital in a serious condition after being shot in a home in Sydney’s north-west.

Police said the boy suffered gunshot wounds to his face and neck. He was treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to hospital.

Five other people inside the home at the time were unharmed.
