| Shots linked to Traveller dispute | |
| (about 4 hours later) | |
| A gun attack in west Belfast on Monday has been linked to a dispute within the travelling community. | |
| Bridget Mongan was in her home at Suffolk Road with her husband and 12-year-old granddaughter when gunmen fired several shots into the house. | |
| Mrs Mongan said she has been attacked several times since the murder of her son-in-law John Mongan in 2008. | |
| She is also related to several people who have been charged in connection with the killing. | |
| Mr Mongan was beaten and stabbed to death in front of his heavily pregnant wife in a house at Fallswater Street in west Belfast last February. | |
| Speaking on Tuesday, Mrs Mongan said she was in the kitchen when the shots were fired into her home at 1915 GMT on Monday. | |
| "When I heard the shots, I thought they came in the bedroom window, where my husband was lying, and I kept shouting for him to answer me," she said. | |
| "He answered me and my granddaughter, she was trembling and shouting 'granny get the police'." | |
| A police spokesperson said a 20-year-old man and two teenagers aged 19 and 17 years had been arrested and were being questioned about the attack on Mrs Mongan's home. | |
| Murder | |
| Meanwhile, on Tuesday two men were arrested in relation to the murder of Mr Mongan. | |
| The men, aged 42 and 45, were arrested in County Fermanagh on suspicion of aiding offenders. | |
| Two men aged 32 and 36 and a 15-year-old boy have appeared in court charged with Mr Mongan's murder. |
