DETECTIVES are investigating after the report that a number of shots were fired at a property this morning,Monday, July 1. 

Detective Sergeant Robinson said: “At around 4:10am it was reported that just a couple of minutes previously a number of shots had been fired at a house in Loughview Gardens, in Coalisland striking and damaging windows.

“Fortunately, none of the six occupants in the house at the time were injured.

“Everyone has a right to live in a safe and stable community and this type of senseless and reckless criminality will not be tolerated. Thankfully, we are not dealing with any serious injuries, or worse today.

“We are working to establish a motive for this appalling attack.

“I want to reassure the community we are taking what happened this morning very seriously and I am appealing to anyone with information to please get in touch with us.

“In particular, I want to appeal to anyone who saw any person/persons acting suspiciously, or any cars being driven in a suspicious manner between 4 am and 4:10 am in the area  to call detectives on 101 quoting reference number 202 of 1/07/19.”
