A 61 year old man has been arrested under the Terrorism Act after shots were fired into the air at the wake of former INLA prisoner Martin McElkerney.
Video footage captured the incident in the Divis area of West Belfast on the 20th of May.
The suspect is being questioned on suspicion of membership of a proscribed organisation.
Searches were also carried out at a property in Dunmurry yesterday and a number of items were seized.
Detective Inspector Stephen Harvey said:
“The scene at Ross Street on Monday 20th May, of a man shooting a 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.”
