It happened in the west of the city last night

The shooting of a man in Belfast has been described as a "cowardly act of violence".

The 21-year-old was attacked in in a paramilitary-style shooting at around 10pm yesterday in the Ardmonagh Parade area.

He received gunshots in both legs and was taken to hospital for treatment. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire said: "I am sickened by news of the punishment-style shooting in Belfast last night - a cowardly act of violence that has no place in our society."

Speaking to Q Radio News, local councillor Tim Attwood says it's sad to see a continuation of violence in the area.
