Eamon Mallie is saying he was hit with a "burst of gunfire". Could be reading too much into it but that sounds like an automatic weapon, which up here would point to paramilitaries.

Seemingly shot in the head a number of times while crossing the street at Snugville st.
Drug related?

Different strokes for different folks.
I expect that means one of the loyalist groups have now broken their ceasefire.
No claim, no blame.
Wonder if there will be any calls for the return of brit troops to patrol loyalists areas now that there is another feud.
