Early reports suggest that two people have been killed and others wounded in a drive-by shooting at an Antrim army base. If these reports are confirmed, it's a tragedy that will reach well beyond the families of those who have been murdered tonight.

The response from Sinn Féin will be critical. If the objective of these attacks is to get Martin McGuinness photographed at a 'Brit' funeral, it will be interesting to see who else will be demanding this in days to come. Anyone who succumbs to the temptation to make short-term political capital out of this could make a bad situation considerably worse.
