Police are yet to establish a motive for the attack. The incident has been condemned by the Lord Mayor of Belfast, Jim Rodgers. | |
"It's horrendous that people still want to use a gun to go out and injure or even kill somebody," said Mr Rodgers. | |
"And as the lord mayor I would appeal to people to assist police with their enquiries so that those who were involved can be quickly arrested." |
