Police have appealed for calm following the killing
A murder investigation has been launched after a man was killed in a "beyond reckless" shooting in Newry.
Superintendent Norman Haslett, local commander for Newry, Mourne & Down Policing District, described the attack as ‘beyond reckless’.He said: “We believe those responsible went to great lengths to plan their attack and lie in wait for their victim to essentially ambush and execute him. “This was beyond reckless. Anyone – any child, any neighbour – could all too easily have been seriously injured or worse. Indeed, after the attack, the victim’s car ended up crashing into a neighbouring property. Those responsible had no thought whatsoever for the victim, for his family or for the local community. They have no moral compass and I would condemn their actions in the strongest possible terms.
