One News: Michael Fisher reports on the investigation into the death of the former UDA leader
The detective leading the investigation into the murder of the former UDA leader, Jim Gray, has found there is material to suggest that the UDA was involved in his killing.
Detective Superintendent Simon Barraclough said at least one bullet missed its intended target, adding that Mr Gray was shot twice in the back.
Mr Barraclough said a group of children playing nearby at the time of the shooting narrowly escaped injury.
The 47-year-old was shot dead outside his father's home in east Belfast on 4 October.
Mr Gray was recently released on bail on charges of money laundering, and was living at his father's home in Knockwood Park while awaiting his court appearance.
He had been warned that he was under threat since his release on bail.
