Armadale Detectives are investigating a firearm incident in Huntingdale last night, Saturday 1 June 2019.
Around 6:15pm, a woman was driving with her partner and an infant on Balfour Street, when a group of people were seen outside a house. As the vehicle approached the group, a man was seen to throw an unknown object in the direction of their vehicle.
This caused the female driver to brake suddenly. The driver’s partner, a man in his 20’s got out of the vehicle and approached the group. A male appeared from inside the property in possession of what appeared to be a firearm. The male discharged one shot in the general direction of the victim.
The victim, who was uninjured, hurriedly got back into the vehicle before the vehicle left the scene.
