Shots have been fired during a paramilitary-style display in Northern Ireland.

Social media footage showed a masked man wearing a white shirt and black tie discharging several rounds skywards.

It followed the death of a former INLA prisoner, convicted of killing two children and a soldier in a republican bomb attack during the Troubles.

Martin McElkerney (57), was taken to hospital after he was discovered critically injured at Milltown Cemetery in Belfast on Thursday.

Police said they were not looking for anyone else over the shooting.

The INLA is suspected to have been behind 120 killings during the Troubles.
