Horrifying video shows the moment a masked gunman opened fire on an ex-bikie gang member in a failed assassination attempt in Sydney’s west.
Recently released CCTV footage shows the attack on Hayan Chandab, a former senior Comanchero, outside his St Marys home in 2013.
The gunman is seen repeatedly shooting Chandab in the street, before he remarkably manages to get to his feet and call an ambulance.
He was shot in the back, shoulder and leg, while another bullet grazed his skull, according to The Daily Telegraph.

Chandab also suffered a broken nose when he was kicked in the head after he fell to the ground in a hail of bullets.
At the time, his sister Taghred Chandab, a former News Corp reporter, penned ‘the most difficult story’ she had ever written describing the shooting.
‘He was calling out for his neighbour when the gunman shot him a fourth and fifth time. Before fleeing, the gunman kicked him in the face, breaking his nose,’ she wrote for the paper.
‘My brother’s past had finally caught up with him.
‘Lying in a pool of blood, he reached for his phone. There was so much he had to live for – he had just married and had seven-month-old twin boys.’
The ex-bikie spent two months in hospital following the assassination attempt, but survived.

Three years later, two balaclava-clad men shot dead a 29-year-old man outside Chandab’s home.
The man was returning to his car after briefly entering the property when he was shot at point blank range as his fiancee sat next to him, police said at the time.
A neighbour at the scene told Seven News: ‘It was eight shots or ten. It sounded like a pistol to me.’
The killers fled and the man died at the scene.
‘They certainly wanted to make sure this individual was deceased,’ Inspector Taylor said at the time.
