Co Armagh family escape injury in shooting
A Co Armagh couple and their three-year-old daughter have escaped injury following a shooting at their home in Craigavon last night.
Police believe a shotgun was used to fire shots at the home in the Parkmore area of the town at around 10.45pm, but do not believe the attack was sectarian.
Windows at the front and back of the house were smashed in the attack.
Elsewhere, a number of cars have been destroyed in an arson attack in Co Londonderry early this morning.
It is believed the fire was started after an incendiary device ignited shortly before 2pm at a car showroom on the Glen Road in Maghera.
Army technical experts were called to the scene where they examined a second device but this was later declared a hoax.
