Force Duty Officer Inspector Jim Wilde said: "The investigation is in its early stages and we are keen to speak to any witnesses or anyone with any information.
"This is a residential area and there are likely to be some people who may have witnessed the incident or know who is responsible. I urge those people to come forward, either directly to the police, or via Crimestoppers.
"If you have CCTV, dashcam or footage on any other devices please check them to see if you have any footage that you could share with us which could help us find those responsible.
"Firing a gun in a residential street is extremely reckless and dangerous and shows a total disregard for the safety of local residents.
"So if you know anything, please tell us and we'll take action against those responsible."
