Shots have been fired overnight at a house in County Derry.
Detectives are appealing for information following reports of a shooting incident at the Elms Park area of Coleraine last night (Thursday September 30).
Detective Sergeant Higgins said: “Shortly before 11:30pm, it was reported to police that shots had been fired at a property in the area. No one was inside at the time, with damage caused to the downstairs window and the front door of the flat as a result of the incident.
“Enquiries are continuing to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident and police would appeal to anyone with any information to contact detectives on 101, quoting reference number 1710 30/09/21.
"Alternatively, a report can be made online using the non-emergency reporting form via http://www.psni.police.uk/ makeareport/ .You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at http://crimestoppers-uk.org.”
East Derry MLA Claire Sugden has condemned the incident.
"Thankfully no-one was in the property at the time, otherwise we might be looking at a very different situation,” she said.
“Those behind this attack clearly intended to do serious harm.
"Guns must be taken off our streets and those using them must be brought to justice.
“This kind of attack will be rightly condemned by the entire community – a community that has the right to live without fear of this kind of violence.
“I would urge anyone with any information about this to contact the police on 111.”
