Police in Derry investigating a gun attack on a house in Rosskeen Park last night, Tuesday, August 2.

Just before 10.40pm, it was reported what sounded like gun shots had been heard in the area, and two masked men were seen running away.

Police responded, and enquiries identified front door and inner door damage at a house consistent with shotgun strikes.

There have been no reports of any injuries.

Detectives from Strand Road Criminal Investigation Branch are investigating and appeal for witnesses, or anyone who may have captured footage of the incident, to contact them.

Detective Sergeant Ballentine said: “This was a brazen and reckless attack carried out in a residential area.

“As we continue with enquiries to establish exactly what happened, a motive and who is responsible, we appeal to anyone with information that could assist us, in particular CCTV or doorbell camera footage, we would urge you to get in touch with us.”

The number to call with information is 101, quoting reference 2194 of 01/08/23.
