A man and woman have escaped injury after a bullet was fired at a house in west Belfast. 

The gunshot hit the front door of a flat in the Cherry Walk area of Dunmurray at around 9 last night. 

A man and woman in their 20's were in the property at the time.

Police believe two men were involved and say they made off on foot towards Chestnut park. 

Detective Sergeant Fairfield said: "This was a reckless attack and we are fortunate the occupants of the property were not injured. 

"We are working to establish a motive for the attack, and are appealing to anyone who was in the area around this time and saw any suspicious activity, including any persons or vehicles, to get in touch with detectives at Musgrave on 101, quoting reference number 1994 26/09/19. 

"Alternatively information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.”
