A number of shots have been fired into a house in Northern Ireland in a "reckless attack", police said.

The PSNI said no-one was injured after the incident in the Ballynamoney Road area of Lurgan at around 12.50am on Monday.

Ten minutes later, a silver Volvo was set alight in the Shankill Street area of the town — with police saying the two incidents may be linked.

No-one was injured, though the occupants of the house were “badly shaken”, officers said.

“Our enquiries are at an early stage and we are working to establish a motive for the attack, and I would appeal to anyone with information about this to call us.”
