Two men arrested over a gun attack in the North in which a man was shot four times have been released without charge, police said today.
Detectives arrested the pair after searches carried out in the wake of the shooting in Cranbrook Court, north Belfast, yesterday.
Three masked men, two armed with hand guns, forced their way into the house shortly before 12.30am and shot the 40-year-old victim who sustained wounds to his elbow, ankle and both knees.
He was taken to hospital but his injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said there was no evidence of paramilitary involvement.
An eight-year-old girl narrowly escaped injury when gunmen targeted the same home 18 months ago.
The child had just left an upstairs room when a shot was fired through the window.
At the time police said there was no paramilitary link to that incident
either.
It is understood that young children were again in the home when yesterday's attack took place.
