POLICE are investigating a shooting on a Bradford estate last night.
Gunshots were heard by residents in Dorchester Crescent, Holme Wood, shortly before 10pm.
Police attended the scene and cordoned off an area of the street.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman confirmed they were investigating what was believed to be a firearms discharge. He said damage appeared to have been caused to windows of a house, but nobody had been injured.
A red car was spotted in the area at the time and police later received a report of a red Volkswagen Golf GTi being abandoned in Hudson Avenue, Canterbury, Bradford, with two people seen running away from it.
One resident, of Dorchester Crescent, said: "At about 10pm I heard two bangs in a row and then I heard a car speeding off and the tyres screeching.
"When my husband got home at 10.30pm the police were here but there weren't any ambulances or anything.
"At about 7 or 8pm there were about 30-40 youths hanging around on the street but they got dispersed and weren't shouting or anything."
A police spokesman said: "Police are investigating a suspected firearms incident in Dorchester Crescent, Bradford.
"This is believed to have occurred at about 9.50pm yesterday, after damage was caused to two windows and a loud bang was heard.
"Officers attended and established the damage was consistent with that of a firearms discharge.
"No one is believed to have been injured.
"Enquiries established that a red car was believed to have been seen in the area at the time.
