Three men arrested in connection with an attempted armed robbery in Newry on Sunday night have been released.

The PSNI says two 35-year-old men were released unconditionally. A 20-year-old was released on bail pending further inquiries.

A man armed with a handgun entered the Casino Palace arcade at Upper Water Street just before midnight on Sunday.

He demanded cash from a woman working in the arcade before shooting her in the stomach. The man fled empty-handed.

The woman's injuries were serious but not life-threatening.
