Victim critical after Co Antrim shooting
A man was rushed to hospital last night after a shooting incident in Co Antrim.
At around 8.30pm, two masked men burst into the victim's Dunluskin Gardens home in Carrickfergus before shooting him several times.
It is understood the man is in a critical condition after undergoing emergency surgery.
After the attack the gunmen made off on foot across waste ground. One man has since been arrested and is assisting police with their inquiries.
It is understood that the incident is linked to the loyalist feud which has so far claimed the lives of David Couples, Jonathan Stewart, and UDA member Roy Green.
Mr Green's funeral will be held later today.
