DCI Caldwell was shot two weeks ago, on Wednesday 22 February, at a sports centre in Omagh’s Killyclogher Road.
DETECTIVES FROM THE PSNI’s Major Investigation Team investigating the attempted murder of Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell have today announced that a second Ford Fiesta was used in the attack.
“It was then driven from Belfast at approximately 1pm on Wednesday 22 February – the day of the attack on John – and travelled along the M1 in the direction of Coalisland and Omagh. “Previous CCTV footage issued shows this blue Ford Fiesta leaving the sports complex and turning left onto the Killyclogher Road immediately after the shooting. We then know it travelled past Glendale Service Station to the Racolpa Road where it was abandoned and set on fire.
DCI Caldwell, who remains critical but stable in hospital, was shot by two gunmen around 8pm on 22 February, as he packed up after coaching a youth football team. “We will work relentlessly to bring those responsible to justice. We continue to views hours of CCTV, have conducted a number of searches, carried out extensive house-to-house enquiries and have spoken with pedestrians, drivers and passengers during a scene revisit last week.
