Shots Fired At Two Properties In Lurgan
Police have launched an investigation after shots were fired at two properties in Lurgan, Co Armagh.
The shootings happened at Woodville Street and Victoria Street at around 11.15pm on Tuesday, 04 October.
No-one was injured in the incidents.
PSNI Chief Inspector Jon Burrows said: "The Victoria Street area remains closed at this time while enquiries continue.
"I would appeal for anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident and who may have noticed any suspicious activity to contact police at Lurgan on 101 quoting reference 1459 04/10/16 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
DUP MLA Carla Lockhart said: "For individuals to open fire on households in this way is utterly wrong. I condemn this unreservedly and call on the PSNI to ensure a speedy proactive investigation. These individuals needs taken off our streets and to feel the full rigours of the judicial system.
"These people have nothing to offer Lurgan. It is a great place to work, live and visit but this alarming news does nothing for community relations and confidence."
