A man has been killed in a shooting in west Belfast, South Antrim Vox understands.
While the PSNI has not released any details, Sinn Féin MP for the area Paul Maskey said a local man had been shot dead in the St James’s area, off the Donegall Road.
He said it was ‘brutal and shameful.’
“My thoughts are with the family of the man was has been killed,” he said.
“No family should have to go through this heartache.
“Those involved in this act have absolutely no place in our community – they must cease their anti-community activities and get off the back of the people of west Belfast.
Mr Maskey appealed to anyone with information on the shooting to bring it forward to the PSNI.”
