Police have launched an investigation after gun shots were fired at a flat in Wyke.
Officers were called to Wedgemoor Close, at about 11.550pm yesterday (Wednesday), after reports that a group of men were trying to gain entry to a property.
They discovered damage to a door which has now been confirmed as a firearms discharge.
Police also found that the men had been inside the property and searched it.
The caller who reported the shots also said they heard a vehicle drive away.
West Yorkshire Police has increased patrols in the area to reassure the public.
But the force said it is believed to have been a "targeted" attack.
Detective Chief Inspector Jaz Khan, from the force's Firearms Prevent Team, said: “From our enquiries so far we believe that the vehicle used in this offence was black or dark coloured and of similar size to a Volkswagen Golf.
“We would therefore appeal to anyone who may have seen a similar vehicle in the area, or anyone seen acting suspiciously around one, before or shortly after the incident.”
