Senior police officer 'shot in front of young people' at sports centre by masked gunman
A senior police officer was shot by masked men in front of young people he had been coaching at a sports centre in Co Tyrone.
"One man, a serving police officer, has been taken to hospital for treatment after being injured in a shooting incident at a sports complex just before 8pm this evening," they said. Ulster Unionist Assembly member Tom Elliott said the officer was coaching young people when the attack took place. Liam Kelly, chair of the Police Federation for Northern Ireland, which represents rank and file officers, branded as "barbaric and cold-blooded" the gun attack in Omagh that has left an officer fighting for his life.
"My thoughts, and those of all police officers, are with our colleague and his family. The police family is strong and resilient, and we'll be there for him and his family in this dreadful hour of need." "My immediate thoughts are with the officer and his family," she said. "I unreservedly condemn this reprehensible attempt to murder a police officer.""Our heart goes out to the family of this courageous police officer and to his colleagues," he said. "We condemn outright the cowards responsible for this.
