A journalist has been shot dead during rioting in Londonderry that police are treating as a "terrorist incident".
Dissident republicans are being blamed for killing 29-year-old Lyra McKee during rioting after police searches in Derry's Creggan area on Thursday night.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said the New IRA "are likely to be the ones behind this" and detectives have started a murder inquiry.
Her close friend Ann Travers, whose sister was shot dead by IRA gunmen in 1984, said Ms McKee was a journalist "who liked to help others, to try to give answers to people and empower people".
"I used to call her Sherlock Holmes," she said. "Once she got hold of something she really didn't give up.
Ms McKee had written for many publications, including Buzzfeed, Private Eye, the Atlantic and Mosaic Science.
Recently, she worked for the California-based news site Mediagazer, a trade publication covering the media industry.
She was named Sky News young journalist of the year in 2006 and Forbes Magazine named her as one of their 30 under 30 in media in Europe in 2016.
The 29-year-old north Belfast woman had signed a two-book deal with the publisher Faber and Faber, with her forthcoming book The Lost Boys due out in 2020.
"It was a pointless and futile act to destroy the progress made over the last 20 years, which has the overwhelming support of people everywhere."

IMO, (as I've said before) evidence points to the primary spokesperson for Q leaving the White House a couple weeks ago.
I've been in and out here for the past week, so I'm going to ask what may be a stupid question. Do you have a name?
Yes! We all do. I'm CareWeMust. Pleased to meet you... "Creep Thunder".
I meant the Q person who departed.
I don't remember his name off the top of my head, but he was the head of the Secret Service.
In case war should break out anyway it is their duty to intervene in favor of its speedy termination and with all their powers to utilize the economic and political crisis created by the war to arouse the people and thereby to hasten the downfall of capitalist class rule.

Another ETA - A thought - The above sounds like a PLAN to me ... Never ending wars would be a good vehicle to destroy capitalism and the West (USA - get the world to turn on us) in their line of thinking hmmmm
For many yellow vest protesters, the stinging sadness that came with the devastating fire at Notre Dame Cathedral has quickly given way to boiling anger.,,,,,,
But they also felt unheard when French President Emmanuel Macron addressed the nation to speak about the fire, instead of laying out his response to the social crisis that has fueled their protests since last November.
And they felt even more outraged when, in just a few hours, billionaires pledged hundreds of millions of dollars (euros) to help restore the damaged cathedral while their demands remain unsatisfied in their longstanding fight with the French government.
“You’re there, looking at all these millions accumulating, after spending five months in the streets fighting social and fiscal injustice. It’s breaking my heart,” Ingrid Levavasseur, a founding leader of the movement, told The Associated Press ahead of another round of planned protests across France this weekend.

So this is interesting. The page showing all the redacted, ongoing cases that were referred out of Muellers office is page D-5! Now, we can be fairly certain that these referrals are NOT for Trump or anyone on his team, as we would know about them....so, there are quite a few ongoing, sealed court cases that came out of the Mueller investigation. I wonder who they are for?
