Seven men—including a father and two sons—have been remanded in custody and charged with the attempted murder of a senior Northern Ireland police officer.
Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell was shot several times outside a sports complex in Omagh, Co Tyrone, in February.
Caldwell had been coaching a youth football match and was with his young son at the time of the attack.
The so-called New IRA claimed responsibility for the shooting, with the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) investigating if the dissident republican group may have been assisted by members of a criminal gang.
The seven accused appeared via videolink at Dungannon Magistrates’ Court on Monday morning.
They are: Jonathan McGinty, 28, of St Julians Downs, Omagh, Brian Carron, 38, of Claremount Drive, Coalisland, Gavin Coyle, 45, of Killybrack Mews, Omagh, Matthew McLean, 33, Glenpark Road, Omagh, Robert McLean, 29, Deverney Park, Omagh, James Ivor McLean, 72, of Deverney Park, Omagh, and Alan McFarland, 47, of Deverney Park, Omagh….
