Man killed in afternoon shooting

The body of the man is removed from the scene.

A MAN has been killed in a shooting incident off Market Street.

The victim was reportedly standing at Dunmore Street around noon with three other men when a lone gunman opened fire in his direction.

According to police, the victim was not an area resident, and is believed to be in his late 20s.

• Police are also investigating a shooting which took place just hours later, in which a man is believed to have been shot in the hip

Any figures on what the "official" murder count is now?

When a country is at war with itself, anyone (citizen, resident or visitor) can become the next victim of murder.
