On Monday the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said two men had been arrested.
They said a 45-year-old was arrested in the Stewartstown area, and a 25-year-old man was arrested in west Belfast earlier on Monday.
They were detained under the Terrorism Act.
“They have been taken to Musgrave Serious Crime Suite for questioning,” the PSNI said.
“A property in west Belfast was searched and a vehicle seized.”
Several people have already been arrested and charged in relation to the shooting, which police linked to dissident republicans.
Mr Caldwell retired from the PSNI last December on medical grounds.
