Police say three masked men stormed a house in Kildrum Gardens just after midnight.
Two of them entered a bedroom where the male victim, aged in his 30s, was sleeping and shot him twice, once in each leg.
A woman, who was also in the property at the time, was physically uninjured but has been left shaken by the incident,
Said Ms McLaughlin: “There is no place in our society for shootings, whatever the cause.
“We must move away from the violent legacy of the past.
“I urge anyone with knowledge to report this to the PSNI.”
