Two men shot in ‘vicious and brutal attacks’

DETECTIVES are probing two paramilitary-style shootings less than 100 metres apart on Friday.

The incidents in the Ballymagroarty area of Derry happened within 10 minutes of each other.

Two men – aged 24 and 32 – were shot in the leg in attacks which police said were “vicious and brutal”.

The first took place near Corrib Court at 8.10pm, then a man was targeted near O’casey Court.
