A woman (34) has been arrested in connection with the attempted murder of Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell.
She is the eleventh person arrested in connection with the February 22 shooting of the senior police officer as he packed up his car following a youth football coaching session at a sports complex near Omagh.
