Police have confirmed that there was a shooting incident in Agar Street in Girlington at about midnight on Sunday night.

A member of the public said shots were fired in the latest in a series of incidents that had been going on for four or five days.

He said he thought it was part of a dispute between two families over drugs.

Police crime scene investigators were on the scene yesterday and the street was cordoned off by police tape.

A smashed pane of glass in a door of one of houses in the street could be seen.

Speaking on Monday, a police spokesman said: “At 12.25am today police were called to Agar Street in Bradford after a report of gunshots being heard.

“Armed officers were deployed to the incident where damage was found to a property which appeared to be consistent with the discharge of a firearm.

“No injuries were reported.

“Enquiries are continuing to establish the circumstances around this incident, which is being treated as a targeted attack.

“Patrols of the area have also been increased to reassure residents.”
