A police cordon remained in place at the scene on Monday afternoon.
Shocked members of the local community stood around the cordon, watching the scene.
One local resident, who declined to be named, said the shooting followed a series of incidents in the local area over the past few days.
“I like my area, I like living here, there’s a lot of nice people, decent family oriented people,” she said.
“But when you hear about something like this it really makes you feel unsafe.”
She said it made her feel unsafe and worried for her children.
“Especially if you have got young sons,” she said.
“Can you imagine?”
She added: “I mean it might not be aimed at them, but wrong place, wrong time, and the innocent get hurt.
“This is the worst part of it, and then you think to yourself, you don’t want to be around here.”
