Posting to Twitter, local PUP Councillor Julie-Anne Corr-Johnston said that she was "dismayed" at the shooting incident: "Details of what happened exactly haven't been made available, only to confirm a violent incident had occurred. Police will be moving door to door making enquiries in the Tynedale area. I appeal to the residents to cooperate and share whatever information you have.
"There will be many heavy hearts across North Belfast tonight as the news breaks. Murder, or attempted murder as it appears in this case, smacks of a past we passionately want to leave behind."
