DCI John Caldwell is heavily sedated and in a critical condition, ChiefConPSNI says
He is one of the best-known detectives in the PSNI, often fronting press conferences on major inquiries during his 26-year career.
At his meeting with political leaders, the chief constable would have sketched out a landscape of dealing with dissident republican terrorism in the context of a budget squeeze and further staff reductions.Police believe the gunmen then made off in a small, dark car, which was found burnt out at Racolpa Road, outside Omagh.
"He was taking a kids' training session - it's hard to compute that someone would try to attempt to kill John at that moment," said Mr Lyons.
