Men released over police shooting

Bishop Street
The scene was cordoned off at the time

Three men arrested in Londonderry on Tuesday over the attempted murder of an off-duty policeman have been released without charge.

The incident happened in the Bishop Street area of the city in November 2007.

The 43-year-old Catholic officer, from the Bogside area of the city, was shot and wounded after dropping his son off at school.

The Real IRA admitted responsibility for the shooting at the time.
