PSNI officer fires shot during loyalist paramilitary arrest
A shot was discharged by a PSNI officer during the arrest of four men on suspicion of loyalist paramilitary activity but nobody was injured.
FOUR MEN ARE being questioned by police in Northern Ireland on suspicion of loyalist paramilitary activity.
The suspects were detained on Donegall Road in south Belfast last night. The incident, which occurred after officers stopped their car, has been referred to the Police Ombudsman as a shot was discharged by a member of the PSNI.
The men are still being questioned at the Serious Crime Suite in Antrim. Detectives have issued an appeal for information and want anyone who saw any unusual activity in the area at about 8pm last night to contact them.
