Dunmurry home targeted in 'ruthless' gunshot attack

Detectives are appealing for witnesses after shots were fired at a house in Dunmurry last night.

Police say they received a report of shots being fired at the Pembroke Manor property just before 7pm and on arrival, found a bullet hole in the front window of the house and a bullet within an interior wall.

Detective Sergeant O’Flaherty added: "Several cartridge cases were also found on the footpath and road. It’s reported that two masked men, dressed in black, left the area on foot.

"This was a planned and ruthless attack. Thankfully no one was home at the time, as this could, of course, have resulted in injury or loss of life.

"It’s also shocking that such a reckless act took place at a time when people, possibly children, would have been out and about and possibly passing by.

"I am appealing to anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to contact detectives on 101, quoting reference number 1731 of 11/07/20."
