Shots fired at family's home

A four-year-old girl has escaped injury after her bedroom window was smashed in a shotgun attack in Armagh.

The girl was asleep when two men fired four shots into the front of the house in Ard Ri Park on Tuesday shortly before midnight.

Her two brothers were also at home at the time, along with her Swedish-born mother and her boyfriend.

A glass panel in the front door of the bungalow was also smashed.

The family had only moved from Sweden in June.

The girl's mother, Eva Fredriksson, said she did not know why the family had been targeted but they planned to leave Armagh.

"Things start to go through your head. Is it something to do with religion or something about us coming from another country?

"That is the first thing that hits you and maybe it is better to live by ourselves," she said.

Police said the attackers made off in a dark-coloured car. They have appealed for information.
