Photographer shot in second night of Belfast rioting

Three shots were fired in the lower Newtownards Road-Short Strand area but the gunman's target was not known.

A photographer was shot in the leg and police urged the media to stay away.

A barrage of petrol bombs, missiles and fireworks were thrown at police lines, in what is being reported as the worst trouble in the area for a decade.

Two other men were injured. They are believed to have suffered burn injuries.

The MP for the area, Naomi Long, told the BBC a man who was struck with a brick on Tuesday night has suffered a fractured skull.

She described the trouble as a "very serious situation" and said appeals from political representatives for calm had fallen on "deaf ears".
