An attempted murder investigation has been launched after an off-duty police officer was shot at a sports complex in Omagh, County Tyrone, on Wednesday.

He was hit multiple times on the Killyclogher Road before 20:00 GMT.

The Police Federation for Northern Ireland said two gunmen were involved and he was shot while coaching young people playing football.

He remains in a critical but serious condition at Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he was "appalled by the disgraceful shooting".

"There is no place in our society for those who seek to harm public servants protecting communities," he said.

Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) Chief Constable Simon Byrne said he was "shocked and saddened" by the events.

"We will relentlessly pursue those responsible," he tweeted.

The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service said it received a call about the shooting at Youth Sport Omagh at 20:00 GMT and sent a crew.
