CONDEMNATION OVER ‘BRUTAL’ SHOOTING OF TEEN MALE IN DERRY

November 9, 2017

A 17-year old boy has been shot in the leg after at least two masked men forced their way into his home in Derry.

One intruder was armed with a baton and the other with a handgun.

Police have described the attack as a ‘paramilitary-style shooting’.

The incident happened in the Gartan Square area of Derry at 10:45 on Wednesday night.

Another woman in her 50s may also have been assaulted by the masked men and is currently in hospital for treatment.

Two other adults that were in the house at the time were not hurt.

Detectives Inspector McSharry said: “This was a brutal attack and yet another example of how criminal groups seek to control communities through fear and violence.

“We are keen to hear from anyone with information about this crime or anyone who may be able to help identify the perpetrators.

“Please contact Criminal Investigation Branch detectives on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference 1428 08/11/17.

“Information about crime can also be given anonymously to the Crimestoppers charity by calling 0800 555 111.”

Sinn Féin councillor Colly Kelly condemned the attack.

“It’s important to repeat the message that there is no place for guns or such actions on the streets of our city,” he said.
