THIS is the horrifying moment a gang of fake delivery drivers storm a family home before allegedly shooting an 11-year-old boy and slashing his dad in the head.
The boy, who suffered potentially life-changing injuries, had been playing a video game when he was attacked in his family’s house in Upminster, East London.
His dad, 45, opened the door believing it was a parcel being delivered at 9.30pm on Friday.
The gang then rushed in to the £500,000 property, allegedly slashing his head and shouting for the security box, before yelling “We want the money from the safe”.
His son was shot as he played a computer game during the terrifying raid.
It was also claimed a knife was used to threaten the throat of a woman in the house.
A 16-year-old schoolboy and another teen, 18, were quizzed by detectives over the shocking attack. The youngest was tonight bailed while the older suspect was released without charge.
Terrifying doorbell camera footage shows the first burglar in a dark hat masquerading as a delivery man at the front door.
When the dad answers the door, the uniformed man places a parcel on the floor before appearing to check his phone, then charging at him.
'HELP, HELP'
A second hooded accomplice wearing dark clothing who appears to be holding a knife comes racing in behind him.
Chilling screams of “oi” and “no” are heard before a third suspect appears in a black jacket, a grey hoodie with the bottom of his face covered and gloves.
A fourth hooded burglar then piles through the door as more screams are heard from inside during a struggle.
Muffled cries come from the house, and after the burglars have been inside for about three minutes more high-pitched screams ring out.
Two of the raiders are seen fleeing out the door before the man who first rang the doorbell also runs out, before stopping and shouting to his pals.
The dad, who is wearing a tracksuit and a white t-shirt, is then seen coming out of the house with blood pouring from his head as he shouts for help.
A car stops and a friend races over to check on him.
He is heard telling the motorist that his son has been shot before the driver exclaims “oh my God”.
The driver calls 999 and is heard telling emergency services “my friend’s been shot” before saying “he’s breathing, but there’s blood all over him”.
Screams ring out from inside the house with the driver informing emergency services “there’s blood everywhere”.
Following the horrific raid, a family member told The Sun Online: "This is the worst year of my life my daughter & son were robbed at knifepoint at 10pm last night by 4 masked c***s .
"My grandson was shot in the shoulder and is now in the London (sic) having a cooperation (sic) this afternoon.

A boy, 16, and an 18-year-old man have been quizzed by detectives over the shocking attack.
Police officers and paramedics who raced to the scene found the boy with a gunshot injury and the man with cuts to his head.
The boy's injuries were not life-threatening, but may be life-changing.
