A Toxteth house has been targeted in an early-morning gunfire attack.
Police were called to Kingsley Road at around 12.15am on Sunday (October 5) after reports that someone had shot at the property while people were inside.
Damage was caused to the front window during the incident although no injuries were reported. Officers carried out house-to-house, forensic and CCTV enquiries.
Detective Chief Inspector Stephen Ball said: “The risks of firing a gun in a residential street are clear and such dangerous and reckless behaviour will never be tolerated by Merseyside Police.
“There were people inside the home at the time and it’s only through chance alone that nobody was harmed in this incident.
“Our officers will be at the scene to carry out initial enquiries. If you live locally and saw or heard anything, or may have captured the incident or suspects making off on CCTV, dashcam or doorbell devices, please come forward as soon as possible.
“Gun crime has been significantly reduced in recent years but we are under no illusions that every single such incident caused fear and risk within those communities affected.
“Information is always the key to finding those responsible and removing them and any weapon from the streets. So please tell us what you know and we will take positive action.”
