Police have renewed an appeal for information into the attempted murder of a man in Co Armagh during the early hours of Monday morning.

It happened at a house in the Carrigart Crescent area of Craigavon.

A 31-year-old man – named locally as Ty McGuire – remains critically ill after the gunmen shot through the window of the property.

It is understood at least one bullet struck the victim in the head.

Officers are still investigating a motive.
