Couple targeted in two gun attacks
A couple have escaped injury in two gun attacks which took place within hours.

Two men - one armed with a handgun and the other with a shotgun - approached the man and woman on the Drumgor Road in Craigavon on Monday afternoon.

One of the armed men attempted to fire the handgun, but it failed to discharge. The gunmen fled in the direction of the Legahory estate.

The couple reported the incident to police and then returned to their home in nearby Enniskeen.

A short time later, a shotgun blast was fired through the kitchen window of their house.

One man has been arrested.

Detectives said they wanted to talk to a group of people standing on the Drumgor Road at the entrance to Upper Enniskeen and may witnessed anything.
