A man has been shot in a "barbaric" attack in the Creggan area of Derry in a suspected paramilitary assault.
The incident happened at around 7:30 PM last night, when a man in his 30s was shot in the leg.
After the shooting he was taken to hospital for treatment.
Detective Sgt Burns said: "Enquiries are continuing and at this stage, we are treating this shooting incident as a paramilitary style assault.
"Those responsible for this barbaric act do not represent the interests of this community, nor do they contribute anything to it. They do it to try and exert influence or gain control of those they claim to represent."
