SHOTS have been fired at a house in what police believe is a case of mistaken identity.
The incident happened at about 11.10pm on Wednesday in Crescent Drive, Little Hulton.
Police were called after nearby residents reported hearing loud bangs.
When they arrived they found shots had been fired at the house.
Det Insp Ben Hart said: “Following enquiries, we now believe a number of men had been seen near to the house and following the firearm being discharged, they ran towards Albany Close.
“I would ask anyone who may have been in the Crescent Drive, Albany Close or Clegg Lane between 10.30pm and 11.30pm to contact police as soon as possible.
“Thankfully, no one was injured and we have stepped up patrols in the area for reassurance to the local community.
"Following early lines of enquiry, we believe that the damaged address was targeted in error by those responsible."
Anyone with information can call police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
