On Sunday in Northern Ireland, a man was shot dead while clutching his three-year-old son in his arms. He was shot in broad daylight in front of scores of shoppers in a Sainsbury’s supermarket car park. Eyewitnesses allege the killer was an unmasked man, who blasted several bullets at point blank rage, while the victim was holding his toddler son, before disappearing into the crowd of bank holiday weekend shoppers.
Investigations are ongoing into the deeply disturbing murder. The Northern Irish police say they believe the victim was a prominent member of the local loyalist community and that his death may be connected to local paramilitary feuds.
