Man Critical Following Shooting Incident In Lurgan
A man is in a critical condition in hospital following a shooting incident in Lurgan, County Armagh.
At least 20 shots were fired through the living room window of a house in Carrigart Crescent at approximately 1:45am on Monday, 13 February.
A 31-year-old man was in the house at the time and suffered a gunshot wound to his head. He remains in a critical condition in hospital.

It is believed that the car was stolen in Dublin in December, and had fake number plates.
