Five men have been arrested after a gunshot was fired at a house in Newry.
It happened in Altmore gardens at around 9.20pm on Monday night.
A car pulled up outside the property with a number of people inside before firing the round.
Police say no one in the property was injured but damage was caused to a front window in the property.
A black Honda Accord was seen leaving the area shortly afterwards which police believe may be linked to the shooting.
Two cars were seized a short time later.
Sinn Féin Councillor Liz Kimmins said: “This was a extremely reckless act which endangered the lives of those in the house. Our community is fortunate that we're not dealing with a tragedy and there is anger about this criminal incident.
"There is no place for guns on our streets and anyone with any information should bring it to the PSNI."
