Seven people have had a lucky escape after a gun attack on a house in Omagh.

Shots were fired through a back window of a house on McClay Park before 9.30pm on Thursday night.

A police spokesperson said that the seven adults in the bar at the time were left "shaken".

Sinn Féin MLA Declan McAleer said: "Thankfully no one was injured in this incident but it must have been a very frightening experience for those in the house and their neighbours.

"Those responsible for this incident do not represent the views of the community in Omagh.

"This is a community moving forward and we do not want this type of activity trying to drag us back to the past. I would urge anyone with information on this attack to bring it forward to the PSNI."

Ulster Unionist MLA Ross Hussey, said: "The New Year is all about peace and goodwill, but the perpetrators of this attack know nothing of either.

"Fortunately nobody was seriously injured. However this house is in a large housing estate."
