New IRA claims responsibility for journalist’s death

McKee, 29, was shot in the Creggan area of Londonderry in what police in Northern Ireland described as a “terrorist attack.” The prominent freelance journalist had written for publications including The Atlantic and Buzzfeed News.

The city — which is referred to by Irish nationalists as Derry and British unionists as Londonderry — is a short drive from the border with the Republic of Ireland.
