Gardai appeal for information after shots fired at house in Longford town

Gardai are appealing for information after shots were fired at a house in Longford town last week.

The incident happened at around 10.30pm on Thursday, June 6.

Shots were fired at an occupied house at Clonbalt Wood in the town.

A window at the front of the house was damaged and a man in his 40s narrowly avoided injury.

Those involved left the scene in a saloon car, while a car connected to the incident was found burnt out in the Ferefad area shortly after 11pm.
