Inquiry launched after shot fired at house

An investigation has been launched after a man shot at a property in Sheffield, according to police.

Officers were called to a property on Elmham Road in Darnall after reports of a firearms discharge between 10:30 and 11:00 BST on Saturday.

Police said a male passenger had got out of a silver Mercedes, shot at the property and then been driven away.

Officers later found evidence of a firearms discharge at the scene but no injuries were reported, they said.

Superintendent Sarah Gilmour said there would be a increased police presence in the area.

"This was another reckless act involving a firearm in our community and, while I am glad that no one was injured, I am all too aware that this is often not the case," she said.

"We will not allow gun crime to be normalised in South Yorkshire, but to eradicate firearms offences, we need your help."

She urged anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who has information to get in touch.
