A father and son have been injured following an incident in Co Tyrone in which a shotgun was discharged.
At around 10pm last night, a man was confronted by a gang of men as he opened the door of his Derryvale Road home in Dungannon.
The men entered the house and a heated argument then took place. During a short struggle a shotgun was then discharged. The householder received minor head injuries and his son received a broken arm and cheekbone.
It is not believed that the incident is paramilitary-related.
