Three arrested over policeman shooting
THREE men have been arrested on Tuesday by detectives investigating a gun attack on an off-duty police officer last year.
The 43-year-old Catholic officer, from the Bogside area of Londonderry, was shot and wounded in November after dropping his son off at school in Bishop Street.
The Real IRA admitted responsibility for the shooting at the time.
Despite his injuries, the victim was able to drive himself to a nearby PSNI station to receive first aid.
The three men are being questioned at Antrim serious crime suite, a police spokesperson confirmed.
