Speaking today, Detective Chief Superintendent Eamonn Corrigan said: “At this time we believe at least 10 shots were fired by the gunmen in front of terrified children and parents.
Police in Northern Ireland have released footage of the car they believe was used by the gunmen involved in the attempted murder of DCI, John Caldwell, in Omagh last week.
“That shows the completely reckless nature of this attack and the callous disregard the gunmen had for children and adults who were present at the time of the shooting. “Six men aged between 22 and 71, arrested as part of our investigation, remain in custody. We continue to treat this as terrorist-related and our primary line of enquiry is it has been carried out by the New IRA."
“We have established that the car was purchased in Ballyclare on Wednesday 8 February and was observed travelling towards Belfast on the M2 Motorway that night. “I am also appealing for anyone- who observed anything suspicious in the Racolpa Road area on Wednesday evening. Did you see anyone or any vehicles on the road? Did you observe any vehicles driving away from the area at speed?
