Shots linked to feud

A Progressive Unionist Party councillor has said a shooting incident in Coleraine was linked to the ongoing loyalist feud.

Police are investigating the incident in which a number of shots were fired at the house on the Daneshill Road in Ballysally shortly before 0100 BST on Monday.

No-one was in the house at the time and police are not treating the incident as sectarian.

PUP councillor Ken Wilkinson said the house which was shot at was owned by a person connected to the party.

"Although there was noone there last night he has a ten-month-old child who would normally have been in the house." he said.

"Whatever talks are going on in Belfast seem to be falling on deaf ears in Coleraine and elsewhere."

East Londonderry Assembly member John Dallat said people in the town should be allowed live in peace.
