Adams: DUP must change tact after shooting

Sinn Féin's Gerry Adams says the DUP - the North's biggest Unionist Party - must reflect on its position following a gun attack on a Sinn Fein Councillor last night.

Paul Butler's home in West Belfast was targeted when a gunman fired three shots at his front window.

Loyalists are being blamed for the shooting.
