Sinn Féin Councillor Sandra Duffy has condemned those responsible for firing shots into a house just off the Racecourse Road in Derry tonight.
The house in Racecourse Park was attacked just after 7pm.
Councillor Duffy said: .“This must have been a very frightening experience for everyone caught up in this shooting incident.
“It’s very sad that when tens of thousands of people were out tonight at the Halloween Festival in the city centre that others were trying to drag our society backwards and bringing guns onto our streets
“It’s clear those responsible have nothing to offer society and are at war with the community.
“There can be no justification for such actions and I would encourage anyone with information about this incident to bring it forward to the police,” she added.
