Det Insp Lee Donnelly, from Kirklees CID, said: “Understandably this may cause concern for those living locally and the wider community.

“I would seek to reassure them that this appears to have been an isolated event and is not believed to be linked to any other incidents at this time.

“We do believe that a weapon has been discharged. However, enquiries remain at an early stage.

Due to the snowy conditions at the weekend a police cordon remained in place until the scene could be processed by specialist officers.

DI Donnelly added: “We appreciate the ongoing patience and support of the local community while we continue our enquiries to understand the full circumstances of what has taken place.

“I would appeal to anyone who was in the area and saw or heard anything suspicious or who has any information about what took place to come forward with any information.”

Information can be passed to Kirklees District CID via 101 quoting log 2006 of March 17.

Information can also be passed anonymously and in confidence to the independent crime fighting charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
