An innocent construction worker says he was eating dinner with his flatmates when several bullets flew into his house.

He escaped being hit but his friend was grazed by a bullet, narrowly escaping serious injury.

The Herald understands the house was targeted in a case of mistaken identity as part of the Killer Beez - Tribesmen feud due to gang prospects who used to live there.

Abinesh Kumar said he was eating dinner when bullets flew through the living room window, narrowly missing him.

"Luckily I was sitting on the floor," he said.

The bullets penetrated interior walls of the house and ended up in a bedroom at the back of the property, he said.

"Lucky escape."

Kumar said his friend who had been shot was being treated for his wound but was not badly injured.

He was in a state of shock being supported at a neighboring property by friends and his landlord, Bobby Chand.

Chand said the shooting was out of character for the street.

"It's a good neighbourhood."

An innocent family has again been targeted in a drive-by shooting linked to the Tribesmen-Killer Beez feud in Auckland.

The home in Manukau's Albert Rd was peppered with bullets shortly before 8pm, with five clear bullet holes visible in the living room window.

A neighbour, who asked not to be named, said young gang prospects used to live in the home but moved out before Christmas.

A young Fijian Indian family with no gang links had moved in recently, she said.

"They're just innocent people."

The neighbour understood the young men were prospects for either the Tribesmen or Killer Beez. She was not sure which because of the gangs similar yellow colours.

The young mother said she knew immediately it was gunshots because the bangs were louder than fireworks.

She and her infant child ducked to the floor when she heard at least 10 shots ring out.

"It was so loud, we all got just down."

"It's scary."

Detectives were at the scene on Thursday morning and armed officers are standing guard outside.
