Two men shot in paramilitary style attacks in west Belfast
Two men have been shot in the ankles in separate paramilitary-style attacks in west Belfast.
The first man was shot in both ankles around 8.30pm in Norglen Parade on Wednesday night and was treated in hospital. The second attack happened in Vere Foster Walk around 10.40pm and the man was also shot in both ankles and sent to hospital for treatment.
Meanwhile, five people have been arrested after police were attacked in Warrenpoint early on Thursday. The trouble began when a crowd of around 200 youths threw bottles and rocks in the Warrenpoint Square and Main Street area. The five, who were arrested, have been released on police bail and files have been sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
In an explosion, a family has escaped injury in an attack on their home in north Belfast. Three children, aged between eight and 16, and their parents were in the house at Westland Road when the incident took place early on Thursday August 16.
The family was sleeping when a brick and a crude explosive device packed with nails, were thrown at the property. The device exploded in the garden causing minor damage to the house. (AMcE)
