Two shots have been fired at a house while three people, including two children, were sleeping upstairs.

The incident happened at a property in the Shimna Walk area in Lurgan on Saturday, 02 September, at around 10.30pm.

No-one was hurt, however a man was seen running away from the scene.

Detective Inspector Stephen Harvey said: "We are carrying out a number of follow-up enquiries and we're particularly keen to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time.

"If you have any information that could help our investigation, please contact police on the non-emergency number. Alternatively, information can also be given anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."

Sinn Féin MLA John O'Dowd said: "Thankfully no one was injured in this incident but it must have been a frightening experience for those involved.

"There is no place for guns on the streets and those behind these attacks need to end their war with the community. I would call on anyone with information to contact the PSNI."
