Three under guard after gunfire

Two men and a 17-year-old boy are under police guard after shots were fired at a house in Hampshire.

The trio were inside a property in Addison Road, Sarisbury Green, when the front door and a vehicle in the driveway were shot at on Sunday night.

No-one was injured but the property was cordoned off while forensic tests were carried out. House-to-house inquiries were also taking place in the area.

Police said they believed the property was targeted deliberately.

Det Insp Nigel Oliver said: "Police are treating this report as an isolated incident.

"We believe this property damaged was specifically targeted by those responsible and was not the result of a random act.

"There is no evidence to suggest anyone else is at risk."

He appealed for witnesses to contact police.
