A man is in hospital following a shooting in Co Derry.
Police said that at about 10.30 pm on Tuesday, a man in his 30s heard a knock at the front door of his house in the Churchlands Road area of Coleraine.
The man did not open the door and it was then that two shots were fired through the door and struck him.
He has been taken to hospital for treatment, police said.
The PSNI said two men were seen leaving the area and heading towards the Winston Way area following the incident.
Police have described the shooting as a “brutal attack for which there is no justification”.
“There is no place for attacks such as this in our society,” they added.
Police have appealed for information about the shooting.
Sinn Féin MLA Caoimhe Archibald has condemned the shooting and said “there is no place for guns on our streets or actions like this”.
“These actions should stop immediately and those responsible should get off the backs of the community,” she said.
