Shot Fired At House In Co Tyrone

A man has escaped injury after a shot was fired at a house in Coalisland, Co Tyrone.

The incident took place in Pinebank Gardens shortly before 9pm on Sunday night, 08 December.

The front window of the house was damaged, however a man who was inside at the time was uninjured.

Sinn Fein's Francie Molloy condemned the attack: "This gun attack on a house in Coalisland was wrong and I condemn it utterly.

"Thankfully no one was injured in this incident but it must have been a frightening experience.

"There is no place for guns in our society and those behind this attack need to end these futile actions immediately."

Anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area or noticed any vehicles being driven in a suspicious manner is urged to contact police on non-emergency line 101. Information can also be provided via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
