Video footage showing the moments before journalist Lyra McKee’s death has been released by police in Northern Ireland. Ms McKee, 29, was shot in the head as she covered disturbances in Londonderry and died later in hospital. Police have blamed dissident republicans for the murder and believe more than one person was involved. CCTV captures Ms McKee’s final moments in the crowd and mobile phone footage shows the suspected gunman. In the video, the masked attacker leans from behind cover and appears to fire shots towards police and onlookers. Urging anyone with information to come forward, he said: “People saw the gunman and people saw those who goaded young people out onto the streets, people know who they are.
“The answers to what happened… lie within the community.”
He said police had already received “a large number of calls and information”.
