Gunshots were blasted at the door of a house near Manchester city centre on Sunday night (April 9) in what police are describing as a 'concerning' and 'targeted attack'.
Emergency services were called to Anaconda Drive, in Salford, at around 10pm on Easter Sunday to reports of a firearms discharge at a property.
There were no injuries reported in the shooting, with Greater Manchester Police now appealing for more information as part of their ongoing investigations. There will also be a 'visible police presence' in the area over the coming days, but the force said there is no wider threat to the public.
Inspector Joanne Johnston of GMP’s Salford Division, said: “I would firstly like to reassure the local community that we believe this was a targeted attack and that there is no risk to the wider public.
“This is obviously a concerning incident, but our officers are working flat-out to establish the circumstances. Those in the area will see a visible police presence and the officers will be more than happy to listen to your concerns.”
"We would like to urge the public to come forward if they have any information that could assist our investigation, whether it be CCTV footage, doorbell footage, photos, or descriptions of the events, we would ask that you report it to us directly."
Anyone with information or footage that could assist police in their investigation into this incident are asked to contact GMP Salford on 0161 856 5194 quoting log 3332 of 09/04/2023.
