Gun attack on Lisnaskea police station
Justice Minister David Ford has condemned a gun attack on PSNI officers in Lisnaskea, Co Fermanagh, on Monday night.
It is understood the police station in the town was the target of the attack.
Local DUP MLA Arlene Foster said the station had been attacked “with automatic gunfire”.
Mr Ford tweeted: “Those who tried to kill police officers in Lisnaskea are to be condemned.”
The Alliance leader added: “They have nothing positive to offer.”
Local UUP MLA Tom Elliott said no one was injured in the incident.
“I unreservedly condemn the attack on Lisnaskea Police Station and am thankful that PSNI officers and civilians weren’t injured or killed in this ruthless act of terrorism,” he said.
The Police Federation for Northern Ireland, which is the body representing rank and file officers in the region, blamed dissident republicans for the attack.
“Officers escape death when dissident republicans attack Lisnaskea station with gunfire. Cowardly and futile. Terrorism will never prevail,” the PFNI tweeted.
The PSNI has not yet confirmed the incident.
