Shots were fired at an unoccupied house in Dunmurry yesterday evening at around 7pm.
Detectives are appealing for information following the incident which happened at a house in Pembroke Manor.
Detective Sergeant O’Flaherty said officers found a bullet hole in the front window of the house, and a bullet located within an interior wall.
“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,” he said.
Detective Sergeant O’Flaherty said it was 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,” added Detective Sergeant O’Flaherty.
