The man who was shot in Carnmoney, Newtownabbey, last night was an off-duty police officer.
The incident happened in the Beverley Road area at around 9.30pm.
The officer is currently receiving treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson said: “My thoughts are with him, his family and we will offer every support to them while he recovers. While our investigation is at an early stage, we do not believe this is a terrorism related incident.”
A 29-year-old man was arrested at the scene and he remains in police custody at this time.
“We will continue to liaise with other key stakeholders, including the Police Federation. As our investigation progresses I would appeal to anyone with any information, who was in the area around the time of the shooting, or with doorbell or dash cam footage, to contact Police on 101 and quote reference 1699 06/01/25.”
