Images show aftermath of Derry Londonderry paramilitary style shooting

By Adam Evans

The PSNI have released two images from the scene of a shooting in Derry Londonderry.

Four masked men shot a man in the legs and abdomen just after 9.30pm last night around Lisfannon Park.

He's been taken to hospital where his injuries have been described as serious.

Superintendent Gordon McCalmont said: “These images show the aftermath of the attack on this young man including a close-up of one of the bullets that was shot into his body. 

"While his injuries have been described as non-life threatening the impact this will have on this man and his family cannot be underestimated.

“Our enquiries are still at an early stage however we do have a specific appeal to make around the movements of the victim’s car. 

"We would really like to hear from anyone who was on Westland Street from around 9.20pm last night and saw a white Kia Sportage parked in the area.

Did you see anyone approach the vehicle or notice anything suspicious that could help with our investigation?”
