Dissident republican group the New IRA is the primary focus of detectives investigation
An off-duty police officer shot by masked men in Co Tyrone has been named as Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell.
Dissident republican group the New IRA is the primary focus of detectives investigating the shooting of Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell in Co Tyrone, police said.Assistant Chief Constable Mark McEwan told BBC Radio Ulster the “primary focus” of the investigation was on “violent dissident republicans”.
Assistant Chief Constable Mark McEwan told BBC Radio Ulster: “Last night at approximately 8 o’clock at the youth sports centre in Killyclogher Road, Omagh, whilst John was putting footballs into the boot of his car, and accompanied by his young son, two gunmen approached and we believe both have fired multiple shots.
“At least two other vehicles have been struck, and again this highlights the callous and reckless nature of this attack.” Mr Caldwell was a high-profile officer who has led a number of major investigations, including taking a leading role in the murder probe following the killing of Natalie McNally in Lurgan in December.
