Women left shaken by shot fired ‘from passing car’
Two women have been left badly shaken after a shot was fired through the window of a house in west Belfast overnight.
It was reported that the shot was fired from a passing car in the Rodney Drive area at around 1.40am on Tuesday.
Police said a motive has not been established yet.
The two women who were in the house at the time otherwise escaped injury.
A silver car was seen in the area and police have asked for anyone with information to contact them on 101.
Sinn Féin MP Paul Maskey has condemned the gun attack as “wrong and serving no purpose”.
He added: “I have spoken to the women who were in the house when it happened and, while thankfully neither were injured, they are understandably very shocked and shaken.
“This incident has caused shock in the local community. They do not want this type of thing happening on their streets.
“Anyone with any information on this attack should bring this forward to the police.”
