A 14-year-old boy has been remanded in custody charged with attempted murder.
It follows an incident on Monday when a man was shot in the ankle when four men burst into his house in the Lagmore area on the outskirts of west Belfast.
Lisburn Magistrates Court was told that the schoolboy needed to be remanded for his own safety because of a feud in the travelling community.
A 49-year-old man has also been remanded in custody charged with attempted murder.
Both of them have also been charged with criminal damage and possession of an offensive weapon.
Six guns and a number of bullets were found on Tuesday by police investigating the shooting which happened at Hazel View.
Two guns were found during searches in the White Rise area of Lagmore on Tuesday afternoon, as well as weapons including machetes and blades.
Four guns were later found in an out-house at Budore Road.
