A MAN in his 30s has been shot in the leg in Derry in an attack which police said “has all the hallmarks of a paramilitary-style shooting”.
Three masked men were involved in the attack in the Magowan Park area of Creggan around 11 pm on Wednesday, March 18, said the PSNI.
Detective Sergeant Gavin McLaughlin said the incident took place at around 11pm and was “completely unacceptable”.

“It was a planned, vicious and brutal attack, which is completely unacceptable in today’s society.”
