Attempted murder arrest after gun fired at house

A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a gun was fired towards a property in Sheffield.

Police received reports of a weapon being fired on Cowper Crescent on Tuesday at about 18:24 BST.

Armed officers responded and found evidence a firearm had been used, but no one was found to have been injured.

South Yorkshire Police said the 34-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday and remained in custody.

Det Insp Claire Moss said gun crime had "no place in our communities".

"This type of senseless criminality endangers lives, thankfully nobody was injured in this incident but people in South Yorkshire deserve to live without the threat of violence on their street.

"I understand that residents will be concerned by this incident, and I would like to reassure them that my team are working at pace to understand the circumstances of the discharge."

The man was also arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.

A force spokesperson said patrols would be visible in the area and urged anyone with any information to contact police.
