He said: “We all thought the days of guns on our streets were over.

“This is an act of lunacy and it is a miracle no-one has been killed or badly injured as a result of shots being fired at a house in a built up area. Local people are furious that this can happen in their area.

“I would urge anyone with any information about this incident to contact the PSNI.”
