A man who was found dead in western Sydney overnight had just hours before fired a gun into a home where his wife and children were seeking refuge as part of a “planned separation”.

It was the first of a series of shots fired by the 50-year-old man, with another fired at a stranger who is now in a serious but stable condition.
