Five in hospital after 'paramilitary-style' shotgun attack

Five people were taken to hospital after a gun attack on the outskirts of west Belfast, police said today.

Shots were fired at a house in what officers described as a paramilitary-style attack.

The inside of the property was showered with glass and shotgun pellets during the incident in the Lagmore Avenue area of Poleglass at 10.30pm last night.

Three men, aged 20, 25 and 32, were taken to hospital with shotgun pellet injuries and two women were treated for shock.

A two-year-old girl who was in the house at the time escaped injury.
