Londonderry: Two men shot in 'brutal attack'

Two men have been shot in the legs in Londonderry.

The men, one aged in his 40s and one in his 30s, were taken to hospital after the shooting in the Rinmore Drive area of Derry on Saturday evening.

PSNI Chief Superintendent Jones said: "This reckless, brutal shooting incident has not only caused great distress to the local community, but has now added two casualties to hospital and created further stress to our local health services who are dealing with the current health pandemic.''

He appealed for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.

Foyle MP Colum Eastwood condemned the attack.

He tweeted: "Utterly depressing that we've had a double shooting in Derry tonight. Our hospital has enough to deal with at this time. We don't want the law of the jungle in our city. Get off our backs.''
