Man shot in legs by masked gang
Police in Londonderry are appealing for witnesses after a man was shot in his legs on Monday night.
The 24-year-old was shot in his knees and ankles after masked men forced their way into his home in Carrickreagh Gardens in Creggan at about 2325 BST.
He was dragged from an upstairs bedroom and taken to the living room where the attack took place.
The man is being treated in hospital for his injuries.
SDLP councillor Jim Clifford condemned the attack in Creggan.
“These continuing paramilitary-style attacks are a return to the bad old days and unfortunately some people seem to want to take us back to those bad old days,” he said.
