Gun attack on family 'sectarian'
A couple whose home was shot at in County Londonderry have said they believe the attack was sectarian.

The couple's two young children, a two-year-old and a four-month-old baby, were in the house when it was attacked at about 2300 BST on Wednesday.

No one was injured in the incident.

Three masked men were seen approaching the house in the Beechland Gardens area of Clady.

One man fired a number of shots at the front door of the house before all three made off in a red car.

The couple said they were targeted because they are Catholic.

Police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the attack or has any information about the incident to contact them.
