Sinn Fein councillor Sean McGlinchey says number of recent shootings is “alarming”

POLICE say a man was abducted from Derry last night before being shot in the leg by dissident republican gunmen.

The 22-year-old was found dumped in the Hass Park area of Dungiven at about 8 pm last night, Wednesday, October 19.

The victim was taken to Altnagelvin Hospital for treatment, but his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

The shooting is the second such attack to happen over the past week.

Sinn Fein councillor Sean McGlinchey was in the area at the time.

He said the number of attacks of this nature was “alarming”.

“It’s not the way forward for any type of society, but whatever I say seems to fall on deaf ears,” he said.

Police investigating the shooting have said they want to speak to anyone who was in the Glenowen Park area of Derry on Wednesday night and who noticed anything unusual or untoward between 6.30 pm and 8 pm.

Detectives are also appealing for information from anyone who noticed any suspicious activity in the Glenshane Road area close to Altnagelvin Hospital, or at Hass Park in Dungiven, between these times to also come forward.
