Two arrested after Belfast shooting

Two men have been arrested by police investigating a gun attack in north Belfast.

It is understood that three masked men, two armed with hand guns, forced their way into a house in Cranbrook Court just after 12.30am and shot a 40-year-old man four times.

The victim sustained wounds to his elbow, ankle and both knees.

The man's 10-year-old daughter and three-year-old grandson were in the house at the time.

The PSNI has said there was no evidence of paramilitary involvement.

The house in Ardoyne has been attacked before. Last March, a young girl narrowly escaped injury after a bullet pierced her bedroom window.
