A man has escaped injury after a shot was fired through the back door of a house in Co Tyrone.

Detectives are appealing for information about the incident which occurred in Coalisland in the early hours of Tuesday.

A PSNI spokesperson said: “It was reported that the glass door of a semi-detached house in Canal Quay had been shattered.

 

“It has been established that the damage had been caused by a discharged shotgun.

“A man inside the house at the time was not injured.

“A scene remains in place this morning as police inquiries are carried out.”

Anyone who was in the Canal Quay or wider area at the time of the shooting and noticed anything suspicious is asked to contact the PSNI.
