Police are appealing for information after shots were fired at a house in Gorton in the early hours of this
A hooded man arrived Sutton Road just after midnight in a silver VW Golf before approaching the house and firing a handgun at the window. A woman and a child were inside at the time both neither were injured.
Detective Inspector Muz Kernain, of GMP’s City of Manchester team, said: “This is a serious incident that will understandably cause concern in the area.
“We believe that this was a targeted attack that poses no threat to the wider community and we have increased patrols in response.
“A mother and child have been left extremely shaken by this traumatic ordeal and it is fortunate that neither of them were injured.
“This happened in the middle of the day when people would have been around and seen something. I would urge anyone who saw anything that can help our investigation to contact us.”
