Family treated for shock after shooting
A family of six were suffering from shock last night after gunshots were fired into a house in County Armagh.
Up to five shots were fired through the kitchen window of a house in the Enniskeen area of Craigavon at around 10.40pm. Two kitchen windows were shattered and a wall was peppered with shotgun pellets. A 41-year-old man received cuts to his wrist from flying glass.
The man, his wife and four children, ranging from three to 13 years of age, were all treated for shock following the incident.
Elsewhere, two men, aged 37 and 38, have been arrested after a handgun and several rounds of ammunition were recovered when police stopped a car in the Newtownabbey area yesterday. The vehicle was stopped at the junction of Glenville Road and Shore Road.
In north Belfast, a pipe bomb and materials used in the construction of pipe bombs have been found. The items, which were in a holdall and hidden in bushes, were found by youths in Grove Park at around 9pm last night.
Police have urged anyone with information in relation to these incidents to contact detectives.
