No one is reported to have been injured in the incident, which is now under investigation by the West Yorkshire force’s Homicide and Major Enquiries Team.

Det Chief Chris Gibson said: “Our enquiries are continuing into this incident and we would like to hear from anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the Stanacre Place area shortly before the discharge occurred.

“We are treating this as a targeted incident and patrols of the area have been increased, although we do not believe there is a wider threat to the community at this time.”
