The dramatic vision shows four men getting out of a car after parking on the street. A gunman then emerges from the darkness firing a handgun at the fleeing men, while a second shooter can be seen hiding in the bushes.
Paramedics were called to the scene just after 8pm where they found a man aged in his 20s in a serious condition.
About 45 minutes later paramedics returned to the area where they found a second man with gunshot wounds at the Westmeadows Tavern bottle shop.
Both were taken to Royal Melbourne Hospital in a stable condition.

Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Daniel Ryan from the anti-bikie Echo Taskforce said the victims and their two associates were known to police.
He said the victims were not co-operating with police, however it had been established that they were associated with the WA arm of the Comancheros gang.

Police believe the victims were arriving for a meeting in a paddock and do not suspect anyone who lives on the street is linked to the shooting.
"This is a targeted shooting and not a random shooting," Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Ryan said.
"We don't know why the shooting took place, we don't know why they went there, we don't know who they were meeting."
The guns have not been recovered, however two spent casings were found in a line search.
Lavery Place resident Dean Clarke said one of the men who was shot staggered into his driveway, groaning for help.
Mr Clarke armed himself with a hockey stick, concerned about his own safety.
The victim started to come up the stairs onto Mr Clarke's porch. Mr Clarke said, the man opened his jacket and his chest "was just all blood".
Mr Clarke called Ambulance Victoria and police.
He got blankets and was checking and comforting the man as neighbours rushed over.
Mr Clarke said the man had a bullet wound in his chest and another wound in his back.
He thinks it was an exit wound.
His CCTV, which was only installed a month ago, captured the vision of the shooting.

Another neighbour who gave her name as Sheryl told reporters she heard a few shots before rushing over the road to help the man.
"He seemed to be in a lot of pain," she said. "First aid kicked in and that was it."
She applied pressure to the man's chest wound with a towel. Sheryl said the man was from Perth but she did not ask him about the circumstances of the shooting.
She said the man was shot in the upper chest.
The street was typically quiet at night, she said.
"We're all very close in this court."
