Masked gunmen fire a dozen shots

police in Londonderry have confirmed they are investigating an incident involving three masked gunmen in the city on Monday morning (April 16).

The gunmen, believed to be members of the INLA, fired up to a dozen shots as the funeral of former member, Seamus Coyle, was taking place having left his home in the Rosemount Gardens area before his burial at the City Cemetery.

A statement from the PSNI said: “Police have received reports of shots being fired in the Rosemount area and are investigating.”

The INLA announced they had decommissioned their weapons arsenal in February, 2010.
