Appeal after shots were fired in Oldham

    Police have launched an appeal following a firearms incident in the Oldham area last month.

    It is believed that two shots were fired at a house on Woodpark Close, Fitton Hill at around 9.15pm on Thursday 21 February.

    A man in his 30s was inside the house at the time of the incident and he sustained minor injuries.

    Detective Constable Gareth Gwilliam, of GMP’s Oldham district said: “I appreciate this may cause some alarm in the community but I want to assure people that we are doing everything we can to find who is responsible for this attack.

    “We are committed to tackling gun crime, but we need the public’s help and I would urge people to report suspicious activity to police.

    “If you know anything about this incident, or if you have any information at all even if it seems small or insignificant, please get in touch as it could be vital to this investigation.”
