A 40 year-old man has been arrested under the Terrorism Act after shots were fired into the air in west Belfast.
The incident happened in the Ross Street area of the city - before the funeral of convicted INLA bomber Martin McElkerney on the 20th of May.
The suspect was also detained on suspicion of being a member of a proscribed organisation.
He's currently being questioned at Musgrave Serious Crime Suite.
Detective Inspector Carol Dane said: “The scene at Ross Street on Monday 20th May, of a man shooting an automatic weapon into the air was not only shocking and reckless, but also a criminal act, which was carried out by those who seek to control communities through fear of violence.
“The investigation into this incident is ongoing and Police continue to appeal to anyone with information to contact police on 101 or alternatively, information can be provided anonymously by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
