Derry Man Shot In 'Paramilitary-style Attack'
There has been another so-called paramilitary style shooting attack in Londonderry.
A man is recovering in hospital after he was shot in both legs - apparently in the ankles - in a house in Creggan at about 6.30pm on Sunday.
Aged 22, his injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
Commenting, the SDLP MLA Pat Ramsey said on the party's official website this morning that the Derry community was set against violence.
"I have been told that a mother who was with her young children in the area at the time was told to go home by the masked men or she would be shot," Mr Ramsey said.
"This is a despicable act that has left the community of the Creggan Hill area in fear.
"There is absolutely no place for guns, punishment shootings or kangaroo courts in our society," he added.
Sinn Fein Councillor Maeve McLaughlin has since told the Derry Journal that the shooting was "very worrying".
"People do not want these actions taking place on their streets and those behind them need to stop," she said.
