A family escaped injury when shots were fired through a rear window of their house in north Belfast on Monday night.
The attack is being linked to the UDA-UVF loyalist feud that has seen over 500 people displaced from their homes in the Shankill area during the last five weeks.
Monday's incident took place shortly after 10 p.m. at Joan mount Gardens in Oldpark.
The Housing Executive said 186 households had been displaced since the feud started in mid-August and 17 families had requested to be moved in the last 24 hours.
Of those affected, 70 families have been rehoused while 14 are in temporary accommodation. The remainder are staying with friends and relatives until suitable accommodation is found.
It was alleged at a public meeting yesterday convened by the Progressive Unionist Party, which is linked to the UVF, that UDA supporters had requisitioned the evicted homes and were now squatting in the properties.
A spokesman for the Housing Executive told an angry crowd assembled outside the Rangers Supporters Club on the Shankill Road there had been a renewed wave of intimidation over the weekend and extra staff had been drafted in to cope with the crisis.
Evicted families have called for a meeting with RUC representatives to address their concerns about intimidation and the growing housing crisis.
Meanwhile the former loyalist internee, Mr Sandy Rice, who was seriously injured in a carbomb attack in Bangor on Monday, has been moved from intensive care. Doctors say his condition is stable.
He suffered severe leg and lower-body injuries. Mr David Ervine MLA, of the PUP, blamed the attack on drug-dealers who resented Mr Rice's attempts to suppress their activities.
European funding has been cut off from a loyalist paramilitary-linked ex-prisoners' group in Belfast's Shankill Road following the discovery of weapons on its premises.
Bomb parts, the tail-fin of a mortar, masks and combat gear were found in the UDA-linked organisation's offices when police searched them on Monday after the offices had been bombed by the UVF.
The Northern Ireland Voluntary Trust, which allocates the European cash, immediately suspended funding to the Prisoners' Aid and Post Conflict Resettlement Group in the wake of the find.
The centre, established to help the resettlement of UDA prisoners in the Shankill area, which provides such things as a minibus service to ferry relatives for visits to inmates, has received £270,000 since 1995, said the trust.
