RAAD claim Creggan shooting
Republican Action Against Drugs (RAAD) have claimed responsibility for the shooting of a 29 year-old man in the Creggan area of the city on Tuesday night.
The man was shot in both legs in the incident at Rinmore Drive. He is still recovering in hospital.
In a statement to the ‘Journal’, RAAD claim they warned the individual last year about alleged activities.
“He failed to heed the warning and was punished,” the statement added.
The shooting occurred at 6.30pm in an alleyway which runs from the Creggan shops alongside Rinmore Drive.
RAAD are believed to have been behind more than a dozen shootings in Derry in the last 18 months.
