Six people have escaped injury after a number of shots were fired at a property in Coalisland this morning (Monday, July 1).
The incident happened at Loughview Gardens, just after 4am. Windows were damaged in the attack. Police are trying to establish a motive for the incident.
Police said fortunately none of the six occupants in the house at the time were injured.
Detective Sergeant Robinson said everyone has a right to live in a safe and stable community and this type of senseless and reckless criminality will not be tolerated.
“Thankfully, we are not dealing with any serious injuries, or worse today,” said the Detective Sergeant.
“We are working to establish a motive for this appalling attack and I want to reassure the community we are taking what happened this morning very seriously and I am appealing to anyone with information to please get in touch with us.
“In particular, I want to appeal to anyone who saw any person/persons acting suspiciously, or any cars being driven in a suspicious manner between 4am and 4:10am in the area to call detectives on 101 quoting reference number 202 of 1/07/19,” added the Detective Sergeant.
Alternatively information can also be provided by calling the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
