Shots Fired At House In L'Derry
Two women have escaped injury after shots were fired at a house in L'Derry.
Two shots were fired at the property in the Racecourse Park area at around 6.30pm on Tuesday, 31 October.
The women, who were in the house at the time of the incident, were not injured but were left badly shaken.
SDLP Councillor Brian Tierney condemned the attack.
He said: "While the vast majority of people in Derry were out enjoying the fantastic Halloween celebrations, it's deeply disturbing that individuals were planning an attack on a home on Racecourse park.
"There were two women in the house last night as shots were fired at it. It's largely through luck that we aren't dealing with a tragedy.
"This is a large residential area. At 6.30pm, scores of children would have been running around, dressed up for Halloween, knocking doors. Those responsible for this attack were reckless in the extreme and must be caught.
"I visited the area last night and assured local people of our ongoing support.
"I would encourage anyone with any information to come forward to police."
