No arrests have been made
Police are investigating after a gun was fired at a Sheffield home while a young woman was inside.
South Yorkshire Police (SYP) were called to Hyde Park Terrace in the Hyde Park area of the city at around 9pm in Saturday, October 24 where they found evidence that matched a gun shot, and a bullet inside the property.
The young woman inside was uninjured.
No arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
A scene was put in place which remains today (October 25) and police will remain in the area while conducting their lines of enquiry.
Numerous police vehicles can be seen at the property.
The incident is the latest in a series of gun shots at properties in the Sheffield area.
At the beginning of October, police were called to Elmham Road, Darnall after reports of a gun shot at a house, while incidents have also occurred recently in Swanbourne Road and Horninglow Road in Firth Park and Fieldhead Road, near London Road at the end of September.
There is nothing at this stage to say the incidents are linked.
Detective Chief Inspector Scott Harrison said: "A family home has been shot at on a usual Saturday, while a young woman was at home enjoying her evening. This is frankly appalling.
"Those who have chosen to commit this callous act clearly do not care about the consequences of their actions, and may be thinking they got away with it under the cover of night. But be rest assured, this is certainly not the case.
"We have a dedicated team of officers working around the clock to find those responsible."
