A man continues to fight for his life in hospital following a gun attack in Craigavon.

Up to 20 rounds were fired at the living room of a property in Carrigart Crescent in the early hours of Monday morning.

The 31 year old was struck by at least one bullet in the head and is now in a critical condition.

Police say a car stolen in Dublin last year was found burnt our near by with fake number plates.

Officers have appealed for witnesses to come forward.

Detective Inspector Stephen Harvey from the PSNI’s reactive and Organised Crime Branch said: “We are working to establish a motive for the attack and I would ask anyone with any information about the incident itself or any ongoing issues in the area to contact detectives in Lurgan on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 64 of 13/02/17. Information can also be given anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
