TWO suspects shot a gun at a house before running off to a park.

West Yorkshire Police received a report yesterday at 3.24pm that damage had been discovered to the front door of an address in Granhamthorpe, Bramley.

Officers rushed to the scene and discovered the damage was consistent with a firearm discharge.

They investigated further and found that a gun had been fired two days before, on Monday, at 9.24pm.

Two suspects fired towards the house and then ran off towards Bramley Park.

No-one was in the property at that time.

Police have put a cordon in place around the house and general area today for forensic examination and specialist searches, with enquiries ongoing.

The force has launched an appeal for information in relation to the shooting.

Detective Chief Inspector Fiona Gaffney, of West Yorkshire Police Firearms Prevent and Investigations Team, said: “We treat all incidents involving firearms very seriously, and have specialist detectives carrying out extensive enquiries to establish the full circumstances to identify those responsible.

“Although the damage was only discovered yesterday, the discharge appears to have happened on Monday night and we would like to hear from anyone who witnessed anything at the time or saw the suspects leaving the scene.

“We appreciate that a serious incident such as this will cause understandable concern in the community and we are working closely with our colleagues at Leeds District to provide suitable reassurance.”
