Police have revisited the scene of the attempted murder of Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell in Omagh tonight
.
“John was shot multiple times and, when he fell to the ground, the gunmen continued to fire at him. This cowardly attempt to take a life took place in the midst of terrified children and parents, and, disturbingly, in front of John’s young son. Any number of adults or children could easily have been seriously injured or killed.
Detective Chief Superintendent Corrigan added: “John remains in hospital in a critical but stable condition. The past week has been sheer torment for John’s loving family, and indeed his extensive circle of friends and colleagues. It turns left onto the Killyclogher Road and is later found abandoned and burnt-out on the Racolpa Road.
