Detective Sergeant Fairfield said:
“This was a contemptible and calculated attack, with the most serious potential consequences. Worryingly anyone, from the resident to potential passers-by, could have been killed.
“I am appealing to anyone who witnessed this incident, or who may have captured dash cam footage, to contact us on 101, quoting reference number 1921 of 15/08/21.”
A burnt out car was found less than a mile from the scene of an overnight gun attack on a property in the Old Colin Road area of west Belfast.
