Police investigating the shooting of an off-duty PSNI officer in Co Antrim have issued an appeal for a specific witness to come forward.
The off-duty officer was shot in the Fairview Avenue area of Carnmoney at around 9.30pm last Monday January 6.
The victim is understood to have been shot with his own gun, and received treatment for non life-threatening injuries.
The incident is not being investigated as terrorism related, police have said.
A 29-year-old man has since appeared before court in connection with the incident, charged with attempted murder, false imprisonment and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Police are appealing for the male driver of a vehicle believed to have been in the area shortly before the incident to contact them.
A PSNI spokesperson said: “We believe that the suspect in this case was picked up in the vicinity of Corrs Corner at around 9pm on the night of the shooting, Monday 6 January by a man driving a red car.
“The driver, who is being sought as a witness only, is understood to have been accompanied in the car by a young girl, possibly around 11 years old. The suspect was then dropped off by this vehicle, which is described as possibly being a red Vauxhall Astra, in the Manse Road area.”
They added: “We would like to speak to the driver of this car as part of our investigation. Detectives can be contacted by calling 101, quoting reference 1699 06/01/25.”
