Footage uploaded to Snapchat shows the man fire at least six shots from a handgun-type firearm outside the Oldham home.

A fireball bursts into the air as he pulls the trigger while grasping what appears to be a white bottle.

The video, captured by an onlooker, also shows the lout screaming in a foreign language and strutting about.

Shocked neighbours told the Manchester Evening News they “thought they had heard fireworks” on the street.

While one resident wrote online: “What on earth is going on with Oldham lately.”

Detective Inspector Clare Harrison, from GMP’s Oldham district, said cops are working non-stop to get to the bottom of what happened.

She added: “We do believe that this is a targeted attack with no wider threat to the public.”

Forensics officers were seen outside the home at dawn as they gathered evidence following the incident.

Photos show detectives photographing the home, which appeared to have a smashed window pane.

Cops are now urging anyone who may have CCTV or dashcam footage to get in touch via 101, quoting log number 122 of 07/05/24.

You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
