Sinn Féin MLA John O'Dowd said: "While it is to early to be definitive about the nature of this attack it is clear that those who have brought guns on to our streets have endangered this community and put lives at risk.

"Those behind the attack need to be taken of our streets. They have no concerns for anyone other than themselves. I would urge anyone who saw anything suspicious to bring that information to the PSNI."
