No immediate terrorism link in shooting of N Ireland police officer
London - A police officer was slain in a shooting near a school late Monday in North Ireland, two days after the fatal shooting of two British soldiers outside a barracks, authorities said.
There was no immediate indication of terrorism in Monday's shooting at a high school in Craigavon in County Armagh.
The slain officer, who was responding to a report of suspicious activity at the school, died after the shooting, police said.
An IRA splinter group, which calls itself the Real IRA, claimed responsibility for Saturday's shooting, which was the first lethal attack on British troops in Northern Ireland since 1997. Four people were wounded. (dpa)
