“Our children have a right to live without bombs and bullets and those behind this offer nothing to this town.”
There was a feeling of shock and disgust in Omagh on Thursday morning after senior PSNI officer John Caldwell was gunned down as he packed his car alongside his young son at a sports centre.
"We cannot allow murder or attempted murder to return to our town again.We had hoped people had moved on and come to an agreement to put guns and bombs beyond use “For this to take place in this day and age in Omagh, twenty five years after the ceasefire is disgusting,” he said. Nigel McDonagh, the longstanding editor of Omagh newspaper the Ulster Herald, said there was a sense of shock and disbelief in the town 25 years after its darkest day.
