Keith McGrellis said: “These police officers were just doing their job, to protect and serve our community. They are there to ensure that we are able to go about our daily lives.

“This was clearly attempted murder. If you fire a gun at anybody, you are trying to kill them.

“I would urge anybody with any information about this shooting to contact the police. The people behind it must be apprehended by the police before somebody is killed.”
