Shock in the town
Independent councillor Tom Conaghan told BBC News NI that both himself and local people were shocked by the incident on Wednesday.
He said the town is incredibly busy at this time of year with many bars and restaurants in the town centre full of people.
"There would be a lot of tour busses here at the minute, the town is packed with tourists and locals out enjoying the good weather," he said.
Mr Conaghan said his thoughts are with the three people injured at this time.
