Det Insp Kevin Jamieson said: "Inquiries are at a very early stage in determining the circumstances surrounding this incident, however, at this time we believe this was a targeted attack.
"We know that a gun was fired at around 0020 hours resulting in a nearby vehicle sustaining damage. No-one was injured as a result.
