A man in his 20s is reported to have received 'minor head wounds' after a shot was fired through the window of a house in Co Down.
Detectives in Banbridge are appealing for witnesses following the incident on Wednesday, September 22, at around 8.15pm.
A man carrying what appeared to be a shotgun was seen in the area at the time, according to police.
Officers attended the property at Railway Street and say two men and a woman were inside the house at the time.
PSNI Detective Sergeant Stewart said “A male, described as wearing black clothing and a balaclava, and carrying what appeared to be a shotgun, was seen in the area at the time. It was reported that he made off in the direction of the junction at Reilly Street and Huntley Road.
“This was a contemptible and calculated attack, with the most serious potential consequences. Worryingly, anyone from the residents to potential passers-by, could have been killed.
“I am appealing to anyone who witnessed this incident, or has any information which could assist us with our enquiries, to contact us on 101, quoting reference number 1992 of 22/09/21.”
