A man has been charged with the attempted murder of PSNI Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell.

Mr Caldwell was shot multiple times at a sports complex in Omagh in February of 2023.

He was putting equipment into a car with his son after a coaching session at the complex on the Killyclogher Road when he was attacked.

A 44-year-old man who was arrested on Thursday has since been charged with attempted murder, directing terrorism and preparation of terrorist acts.

He is due to appear before Dungannon Magistrates’ Court in Tyrone on Saturday morning.
