    Breaking news that shots were fired in Derry and a woman killed. All that is being said at the moment is it is being treated as a terrorist incident.

    With the car bomb there not so long ago, let us all hope this is not going to become a common occurrence again.
    Terrible for family and friends, and wider society.

    RIP Lyra McKee

    Shocking story and the shooters caught on mobile phone footage. They were young fellas in trackie bottoms, probably not even 18.

    Poor girl was a journalist standing next to the police vans.

    "The victim was reported locally to have been a journalist and author who was covering the unrest taking place in the Creggan area of the city."

    That is an absolutely awful loss of life.

    Awful thing to occur. Terrible for a young woman and her family

    Perhaps this will put a plug in it.

    She was a journalist and might have been targeted. Hunt these fellas down and throw away the key.

    Doubt it. I'd say it was more young lads shooting at landrovers.

    I'm as nationalist as anyone who'd claim to be nationalist, but I'd hope the country is beyond that knuckle dragging bullsh*t.

    Moving along.

    Poor girl, this is the first I'm hearing of this murder but from what I'm being told by friends up in the north of Ireland there is a strong undercurrent of unrest, a pretend peace.

    RIP young lady.

    Sadly, far from it. I'm on the middle ground tending towards unionism and we've started calling it Lower Limivady to wind up the bigots.

    As someone old enough to have been in Uni in Belfast through the bad times, we REALLY don't want this back again.

    RIP young lady, and I really hope that when they are caught, the Good Friday agreement will not apply and they will go to jail for a very long time.

    Bigots are **** on both sides. I'd rather see us as one people, I really couldn't care less what side anyone claims to be. Just be nice to people and respect that other's have different views you.

    If paramilitaries were involved then they must have expected the victim to have been involved in the sale or distribution of drugs.

    No
    They are just scumbags
    They had no excuse
    No Justification
    No right
    They should be hunted down and locked away forever.

    Journo standing with security forces , not wearing clothes to identify herself as a media despite in the middle of an armed conflict and the good old british security forces doing their old trick of bundling a wounded person into the back of a security vehicle only for them to die enroute, sounds familiar.

    Here's an idea, aside from leaving the victim blaming out of it.

    How about not fucking shooting people, simple!.

    'Armed conflict', you mean some cowardly bastard murdering someone then skulking away into the night to hide out in his rat hole?.

    Your take on what happened is so warped.

    Search Leona O’Neill, journalist on Facebook. She was standing right beside her when it happened and called the ambulance. Quicker and safer to take the shot woman to hospital in the back of PSNI vehicle than have an ambulance enter the area.

    RIP

    No government assembly in northern Ireland. The British government totally blinkerd by Brexit and the lrish government don't give a damn about northern Ireland. It's not looking good for the north. Hopefully I'm wrong.

    The sad thing is Mak, the kids doing the rioting and shooting far from being born during the conflict. They’ve been raised by parents like judeboy who want there to always be conflict.
