A DRIVE-BY shooting on a Lothian home is being linked to a long-running feud which has already seen firebombings, vandalism and violent attacks.
Police are investigating after a shot was fired at the house in Dalkeith's Woodburn Avenue before the attacker sped off. The terrified family were at home at the time and called 999.
It is the home of the parents of George Rae, 39, who has been targeted several times over the past ten years.
Earlier this month, armed police swooped on a nearby house as part of an investigation into alleged threats made against him. No-one was injured in the latest attack at around 11:25pm on Wednesday, after the bullet missed a window and lodged in the gutter.
But neighbours said Mr Rae was now receiving round the clock police protection. A police van was parked outside his parents' home yesterday.
