Detectives have arrested a man on suspicion of attempted murder after shots were fired at a house in County Armagh.
A woman and her son escaped unharmed when it happened in Cullyhanna village last month.
The PSNI has a 33-year-old man in custody.
In a statement a spokesperson for the service said: "Detectives investigating the report of a shooting incident in the Cloghoge Road area of Cullyhanna on the evening of Wednesday, 21 February have arrested a 33 year old man on suspicion of a number of offences including attempted murder, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and grievous bodily harm.
"He remains in police custody.
