The shots were fired at around 3.10pm.

A MAN IS being treated in hospital after a number of shots were fired from a car this afternoon.

The shots were fired near a primary school in Moyraverty, Craigavon, Co Armagh at around 3.10pm.

A man has sustained a number of injuries and is currently receiving medical treatment.

Police are appealing for information following the shooting.

Chief Inspector Jon Burrows said, “The area was very busy and we believe a number of people may have witnessed this shooting. We would ask anyone who has information to contact us as soon as possible so we can progress our investigation.

There are no words to describe the foolhardiness and complete disregard for the safety of the children and parents who were in the area at the time.

“If you have information, please phone us on 101.”
