SHOTS were fired into a house on a quiet residential street.
Police do not believe the middle aged couple who live at the property in Ashville Road, Leytonstone, were the intended targets of the gunman, who struck at 5am on Monday.
Nobody was injured after two shots were fired into a first floor window and one into the ground floor of the property.
Three black men, believed to be in their late teens or early 20s, were seen leaving the scene and heading towards nearby Grove Green Road on bicycles.
Police are not willing to discuss who they believe the intended targets were.
Operation Trident, which investigates black gun crime, are carrying out house to house inquiries.
Anyone with information is asked to call 8217 7382.
