Detective inspector John Mullen said: "We will not tolerate the use of guns on our streets. Thankfully nobody was injured on this occasion, but firing a gun in a residential street is extremely reckless and could have resulted in tragic circumstances, the type of which we are all acutely aware."
DI Mullen added: "We have been able to obtain CCTV images of a car we believe may have been involved in this offence. We understand that this image we have released may not be the best quality, but we hope it will help witnesses recall any information which will help with the investigation and we encourage people to come forward.
"Any information you can give, no matter how insignificant it may seem to you, could be vital and help bring the offender to justice. In addition, I would ask any witnesses we have not already spoken to, who were in the area at that time and saw something suspicious, please to contact us.
"We know the harm and devastation guns cause, and we will be relentless in our pursuit of those who use them in our communities.
