Boy hit by stray bullet regains consiousness

The five-year-old boy who was shot in the head in a school playground in Co Fermanagh is showing signs of improvement.

Darragh Somers was hit by a bullet while playing at his school near Enniskillen eight days ago.

It is thought he was hit accidentally by someone shooting in nearby fields.

The five-year-old regained consciousness for a time yesterday and responded to his mother.

However, he remains critically ill.

Police have renewed their appeal for anyone with information who has not yet come forward to do so.
