Investigators are looking into whether a drive-by shooting in Melbourne is linked to a similar incident at a nightclub last week.
A multi-storey house in Port Melbourne, was peppered with bullets at 5am on Friday, with a woman and her teenage daughter home at the time.
Last Thursday, Prahran nightclub Boutique was also shot at.
The owner of the club and the house at Beacon Vista are reportedly linked, with numerous media outlets reporting the ex-wife of the club's owner lives at the home.
Detective Inspector David Griffin believes the offender or offenders are trying to send a message.
"It would appear that certainly someone is not happy with something that's going on and is clearly trying to send a message," he told reporters.
He said it appeared a bit of planning had gone into both shootings.
News footage shows large gunshots in the second-floor window of the house, the garage and through the back window of a car.
Shotgun casings were also strewn on the driveway.
A neighbour said he heard the shots and then saw a black car driving away slowly without its lights on.
The two women inside were "shaken" but fortunately not injured in the drive-by attack, police say.
No one has been arrested.
