re: Three Charged Over Shooting of Det. Inspector John Caldwell
Three Arrested After Omagh Officer Shooting
IRA Suspected of Shooting
---Children ran in 'sheer terror'
BBC 23 FEB 2023
Det Ch Insp John Caldwell
Det Ch Insp John Caldwell is one of the best-known detectives in the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).
PSNI Chief Constable Simon Byrne said: "They are currently being questioned by detectives at Musgrave serious crime suite."
Police said they were keeping an open mind but the "primary focus" was on dissident republicans and the NEW IRA.
Assistant Chief Constable Mark McEwan says children ran in “sheer terror” when two gunmen fired multiple shots at Det Ch Insp John Caldwell.
“John was finishing up coaching an under-15 football team, he was accompanied by his young son,” he says.
“Two gunmen appeared, fired multiple shots and John ran a short distance and as he fell to the ground gunmen continued to fire shots at him.
“We’d like acknowledge the quick brave actions of one member of the public who gave first aid.
“At this time there were many other children, those children ran for cover in sheer terror.”
Officer has surgery and remains critical - chief constable
Det Ch Insp John Caldwell has had surgery overnight and remains in a critical condition at Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry, the chief constable says.
Simon Byrne adds the PSNI is shocked and angered by what he describes as a "brazen attack".
He says his colleagues are extremely distressed by the attack but remain resolute and determined to bring those responsible to justice.
Arrests made in Omagh and Coalisland
The three men arrested are aged 38, 45 and 47.
They were detained in Omagh and Coalisland.
