<div id="google_ads_iframe_/2695176/Breaking_News/ROS_InContent_0__container__">“The motive of this attack is not clear at this stage, but it’s clearly a hugely reckless act and we need to identify those responsible as soon as possible.</div>
</div>

<p>“We have extra officers, including armed officers, in the area as we’ve increased patrols to support and reassure the community during this concerning time.</p>
<p>“We’re doing all we can to find the offenders and as part of our investigation, CCTV is being examined and witnesses are being spoken to.</p>
<p>“If anyone was in the area at the time and saw what happened I would urge them to get in touch.”</p>
<p>A local resident, who asked not to be named, said three masked men ran across a pedestrianised area at the end of Ashbourne Road into Deans Road and fled on foot.</p>
<p>The witness said: “I heard two loud bangs and then three guys wearing balaclavas came into the street and I saw one of them put a gun into a bag.</p>
<p>“I think two of them were wearing all white. They had what looked like a dark sports bag and they put the gun in that, then ran off.</p>
<p>“They went up the street and I’ve heard that a woman chased them in a car.</p>
