Police are in attendance near Ratho Station after shots were fired at a house earlier today.

The alarm was raised at around 6am this morning and police rushed to the scene.

Cordons are in place and detectives are at the scene.

The same property was blasted by a gunman in 2013.

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “Police in Edinburgh attended at an address in Ratho around 6 am Tuesday 20th September after reports of a firearm discharge.

“No-one was hurt in the incident and inquiries are on going into the full circumstances.”
