Three men arrested in connection with attempted murder of police detective in Northern Ireland
Three men have been arrested in Co Tyrone in connection with the attempted murder of Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell, PSNI Chief Constable Simon Byrne has said.
Mr Caldwell had been coaching a youth sports team at the facility on Wednesday evening. Mr McEwan said that around 8pm, the policeman had been putting footballs into the boot of his car, accompanied by his young son, when two gunmen approached and both fired multiple shots. “I would appeal for anyone with any information about those involved, about the vehicle, or anything else you think may be of use to the inquiry, no matter how small, please come forward to police,” he said
The New IRA has been blamed for the killing of journalist Lyra McKee in Londonderry in 2019. Last November, the group was also thought to be behind the attempted murder of two police officers in a bomb attack in Strabane, Co Tyrone.
