Speaking on the attack DUP MLA Carla Lockhart said, "My thoughts are with all those involved particularly the young man injured. I am thankful that he has been discharged however the entire event must be highly traumatising for all involved.
"To have a home targeted in this way is worrying for the entire community. Ashleigh Crescent is a quiet residential area and residents are shocked at this turn of events. I would condemn this attack and this type of reckless activity.
"I have been liaising with the PSNI throughout the night and will be meeting them this morning. They are following a line of enquiry but are appealing for the publics help. I would encourage anyone with information to come forward to the PSNI, confidentially or via the 101 or 999 services.
