The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) confirmed on Friday it was dealing with two incidents at two addresses in west Belfast, though officers declined to give any further details.
The attack on Adamss home and another on that of Bobby Storey, who has served as the partys northern chairman were condemned as by Gerry Kelly, Sinn Féins policing and justice spokesman.
