Coalisland Shooting Sparks Appeals
A man has been shot in the arm in the Coalisland area of Tyrone, police have said.
Detectives received a report shortly after 7pm yesterday that the man, aged in his 40s, had attended hospital.
The police is particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have been in The Lines area of the town, from Canal Quay to the car park at the retail premises, between 6pm and 6.40pm.
Detective Inspector Ryan said: "He (the man) was approached by two men who he believed to be local to the area. A suspected firearm was put through the window of his vehicle and he was shot to his arm.
"At this time, the injuries he received are thankfully not thought to be life-threatening or life-changing.
"It's appalling that anyone should be attacked in this way, especially in the early evening when the area would have been busy with shoppers and commuters. There is no place in our society for this type of vigilante justice and we are fortunate that the outcome was not much more serious.
"Our enquiries are at an early stage and we would appeal for anyone with information in relation to this incident to contact us.
"If you saw or heard anything suspicious, or have footage which could assist our investigation, please call our detectives can be contacted on 101, quoting reference number 1369 of 30/10/24."
You can also submit a report online using the non-emergency reporting form.
Information can be given anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
