Fresh investigation underway after shots fired in Sheffield
It's the third incident involving a gun in Sheffield in less than a week
A fresh investigation is underway in Sheffield this evening, after another incident where shots were fired.
A firearm was used in the Page Hall area at around 8:30pm last night, with bullets fired towards a home on Wensley Court.
Nobody was hurt.
It follows another firearm discharge in Pitsmoor on Tuesday, following by a fatal shooting in Upperthorpe the same day.
Chief Superintendent Ian Proffitt said: "We understand that these incidents are worrying and concerning to hear about.
"We have made significant progress in tackling gun crime in South Yorkshire in recent years and we remain steadfast in our commitment to targeting those involved in this criminality.
"I want to assure you that officers are working at pace to piece together the circumstances of the incident and find the person responsible, and at this time we are treating it as a targeted attack.
"We are also aware of other recent firearms discharges in Sheffield in the past couple of days and we are keeping an open mind as to whether they are linked.
"The use of firearms puts innocent people's lives at risk and it is fortunate that no one was injured in this attack.
"It is incredibly important that anyone who has information that could help us with our investigation comes forward and reports it to us.
"The intelligence we receive from members of the public is vital and goes a long way to helping us identify those responsible for incidents of gun crime.
"We would be particularly keen to hear from anyone in the local area who may have relevant CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage that could assist us with our investigation.
"If you have any other information that you think could aid our enquiries, then please call us on 101 or report information anonymously via Crimestoppers.
"We would also encourage local residents to report any information or queries to officers in the area. There will be increased officer patrols for your safety and reassurance and I would urge you to speak to officers about any concerns you have."
