Woman escapes injury

A man in his 30s is being treated in hospital after being shot in the Creggan area of Derry last night.

Three men entered a property at Kildrum Gardens just after midnight before two of them entered a bedroom and shot the man twice – once in each leg – as he slept in his bed.

A woman, who was also in the property at the time, was physically uninjured but has been left shaken by the incident.

It is understood the man's injuries are not life-threatening.

Appealing for information, PSNI Detective Sergeant Galbraith said: “We are appealing to anyone who may have been in the area this morning and who witnessed this incident or may have CCTV or dashcam footage to contact detectives on 101 quoting reference number 6 of 05/04/22
