Shots were fired at an address in Oldham in the early hours of today, Tuesday, in what is thought to have been a "targeted attack".

Police were sent Prince Edward Avenue in Clarksfield at around 1am and confirmed that a firearm discharge had happened.

No one is reported to have been injured and no arrests have been made.

Detective Inspector Clare Harrison, from Greater Manchester Police's Oldham district, said: “We are working at pace to find out the exact circumstances of last night’s events and understanding the timeline.

"We are utilising all the necessary resources available as we investigate the incident, and are working hard to ensure those responsible are brought into custody.

“Any report of a firearms discharge is always shocking and I know that people within the local area will be concerned and worried following this news.

“However, I want to tell the public that we do believe that this is a targeted attack with no wider threat to the public.

"Extra officers will be in the areas for reassurance and I would recommend chatting to them if you have any concerns - they are there for you and will be able to assist with any queries.

"We've continued to tackle gun crime to keep streets safer across Greater Manchester, with 78 firearms recovered in the last year alone.

"The number of shootings has continued to reduce and our specialist teams continue to remove these weapons from the hands of criminals.

"However, when incidents do occur, we act quickly and thoroughly to ensure those responsible are brought to justice.
