A man is being treated in hospital after being shot in the Galliagh area of Derry.

Police are appealing for information after the man, aged in his 20s, was shot in the right leg in a so-called “punishment” attack at around 8.30pm in Bracken Park.

It is understood the man made his way to a nearby shop to raise the alarm.

He is being treated in Altnagelvin Hospital for injuries which are not believed to be life-threatening.
