Police are investigating a report of a shot fired at a house in West Belfast.

Detectives say they are appealing for information and witnesses following an incident at a property in the Shaws Park area last night, Monday April 4.

Detective Sergeant Alexander said: “We received a report just after 9.30pm, that the home owner had heard a loud bang and checked their front door to find a small hole below the glass panel of it and a suspected bullet fragment found. Thankfully the male occupant, who was at home at the time, was uninjured.
