The man shot in a paramilitary-style punishment shooting in Derry last night is in a critical condition in hospital.
The incident occurred at around 9.00pm at Magowan Park, the new housing development on the site of the former St Peter’s High School in the Creggan area.
He was shot in both legs..
Those responsible have been condemned.
Sinn Fein MLA Maeve McLaughlin said the perpetrators of the attack had “nothing to offer but fear and intimidation.”
She added: "These attacks have been rejected by our communities and they have no place in the new Ireland we are trying to build.
"Our thoughts are obviously with the man who has been injured and his family and I would urge anyone with any information to bring it to the PSNI immediately.”
