Detectives investigating the attempted murder of a senior police officer in Northern Ireland have charged three men.
Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell was seriously injured after he was shot several times at a sports centre in Omagh, Co Tyrone in February after coaching a youth sports team.
Mr Caldwell spent several weeks in intensive care following the shooting. This evening, the PSNI said that the men, aged 45, 47 and 58, have been charged with preparatory acts of terrorism.
Two of the men, the 45-year-old and the 58-year-old, have also been charged with possession of articles for use in terrorism, and providing property for the purposes of terrorism.
All three men are expected to appear before Dungannon Magistrates' Court today.
