Gunmen in passing cars killed a Roman Catholic man near a church in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and shot another Catholic man in the back in another part of the city, police said. They said they could not immediately link the two attacks. Friends identified the man killed in north Belfast as William Totten, 46. Police said a 23-year-old man, who was not identified, was wounded in the second drive-by shooting while waiting for a ride on a street in west Belfast. The man’s condition was described as “not serious.” In a third incident, police said six officers were slightly injured when a drunken mob of about 600 Protestants hurled bricks, bottles and stones at them in the town of Armagh.
