Ratho shooting: Police seek motorbike seen parked opposite house Officers investigating after shots were fired at a house on the outskirts of Edinburgh are looking for the driver of a motorbike seen parked on the opposite side of the road. Police were called to Ratho Station at around 9.30pm on Monday after the shots were directed at a home on the busy A8. The main arterial road was closed in both directions between the airport junction and the Newbridge roundabout for 13 hours, with the road fully reopened at 11.30am on Wednesday. Forensic officers could be seen searching around the house, carrying out a fingertip search of the road and looking into drainpipes and bins. No one was injured during the shooting, which they do not believe was random. Police now want to speak to the driver of a motorbike that was seen parked at the bus stop on the opposite side of the road. It sped off towards Edinburgh after the shooting. It is thought the bike drove down the A8 from the Gogar roundabout to the Newbridge roundabout before turning road and stopping at the bus stop. DCI Stuart Houston said: "From our investigation at this stage we are keen to trace the rider of a dark coloured motorbike that was present on the north carriageway of the A8, about 9.30pm just prior to the report of shots being fired. It is possible that this vehicle may also have travelled from the Gogar roundabout towards Newbridge roundabout a short time before the incident. I am keen to hear from anyone who may have seen a motorbike in that road or the surrounding side roads at that time or if they were themselves the rider, to come forward as they may be able to assist by excluding themselves from the investigation. This incident has occurred on a busy main route and I am aware from our initial enquiries that there were a number of vehicles who passed this location travelling in both directions at the time. I would ask for anyone who was travelling on this road, to consider if they saw a motorbike, any vehicles that may have been stationary in the vicinity of the bus stop on the north side of the road and any persons who may have been present on the footway or the road to contact the police.
