Vandals have damaged fencing being used to surround a planned support centre in Derry for autistic children.
Planning permission has been granted for the equine therapy centre on a site in the Ballymagowan area of the city.
However, a councillor said that fencing recently placed around the site was damaged last night.
Sinn Fein Councillor Tina Burke described the attack at Ballymagowan Urban Park as an appalling assault on the local community .
It happened in the Southway area of Creggan on Wednesday at around 7.30pm.
The victim, aged in his 30s, was shot in the leg and taken to hospital for treatment.
The PSNI described the incident as barbaric .
PSNI Detective Sergeant Burns said those responsible for it do not contribute to the community or represent its interests. Nor do they contribute anything to it, he added. They do it to try and exert influence, or gain control of those they claim to represent.
Sinn Fein Councillor Tina Burke condemned the attack.
She added: There is no place for guns on our streets.
