Four adults have escaped unharmed after a number of gunshots were fired at a house in Newry.
Police say it happened in the Barcroft Park area at around 1am on Thursday morning.
Inspector Frances McCullough said: “At around 1am this morning, Thursday 23 August, it was reported that a volley of shots had been fired at a house in Barcroft Park.
"A number of the shots entered the living room through the front window however fortunately none of the four adults inside were struck.
"All were left extremely shaken but otherwise uninjured."
Detectives say they're working to establish a motive for the attack, which they've described as 'appalling and wreckless'.
