Gun attack on PSNI officers 'lured' to bogus burglary | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
Police officers have escaped injury in a gun attack in County Antrim after being called out to a bogus burglary. | |
Shots were fired as three officers responded to a report of a break-in at Foxes Glen, off the Stewartstown Road, outside Belfast. | |
Two men also narrowly escaped injury after their car was struck by the gunfire. | |
The PSNI said one line of inquiry is that the three officers may have been "lured" to the area to be targeted. | |
The gun attack happened at about 13:00 BST on Thursday. | |
The street was busy with children returning from school and playgroups at the time. | |
In a statement, the PSNI said: "Inquiries have established that the original burglary call was bogus." |
