May 9 will for ever be remembered in Belfast as a day of terror.

Three separate shooting incidents occurred within 24 hours in the city, leaving one man dead.

So far this year, 11 gun attacks have already hit the greater Belfast area.

It started with Conor McKee being shot dead in North Belfast on January 8, with the latest incident seeing 55-year-old delivery driver Dan Murray blasted in his car in West Belfast around 10pm on May 9.

Our timeline, below, gives a terrifying summary of the gun incidents to hit the city in 2016.

West Belfast MLA Alex Attwood condemned those responsible for the latest attacks.

He said: “I am appalled by the events of the last 24 hours in areas of West and North Belfast.

“Those behind these deplorable shootings must be condemned outright by us all.

“We must demonstrate the same resolve we did in the past - resist those who carry out these atrocities, who use guns to reject Irish democracy and ignore the rule of law."
