Two released after Belfast gun attack

Two men arrested by police investigating a gun attack in North Belfast early yesterday have been released without charge.

Three masked men forced their way into a house at Cranbrook Court and shot the 40-year-old man four times.

The victim sustained wounds to his elbow, and both knees, and later underwent surgery in hospital.

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

The PSNI said there was no evidence of paramilitary involvement in the shooting.
