The attempted murder of PSNI officer Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell was a brutal and barbaric deed carried out by people who have absolutely no contribution to make to this, or any other, society.

It is a senseless act of terror and must be met with the complete and unambiguous revulsion of the community. Many of those who still seek to justify and glorify the slaughter and savagery of the Troubles era would do well to reflect on last night’s shooting and its implications.

Anyone with any information about this callous attempt of DCI Caldwell’s  life should contact the PSNI without delay.
