More time granted to question 71 year old man in connection with attempted murder of police officer

Detectives have been granted more time to question a 71-year-old man in relation to the attempted murder of a police officer in Omagh.

The PSNI say a court in Belfast has granted an extension until ten o’clock tomorrow night.

Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell was shot at at least ten times at a sports complex last Wednesday.

Mr. Caldwell remains in a critical but stable condition, and all six men arrested remain in custody.
