Man escapes injury in gun attack
A man escaped injury in a gun attack on a house in east Belfast early this morning.
The victim, who is in his 30s, escaped injury when shots were fired at the bathroom window of his house in Avonorr Drive in the lower Newtownards Road area shortly after midnight.
Police said they were treating the shooting as attempted murder and are investigating a link between the attack and a loyalist feud in the area which has already claimed the lives of two men.
Earlier this month Jameson Lockhart was shot as he sat in a lorry outside the demolished ‘Avenue One’ bar on the Newtownards Road.
Last week Craig McCausland, 20, was shot by the UVF at his girlfriend's house in north Belfast - he later died in hospital.
Two days ago shots were fired at a house in the Sydenham area of east Belfast, in an attack also linked to a row between the UVF and LVF.
