Another man has been shot in Derry this evening in a punishment-style attack.

Police said a 26 year-old man was shot in the legs at Liscloon Drive in Shantallow this evening.

A PSNI spokesperson said that his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

The attack came less than 24 hours after a 42 year-old man was shot in one of his legs in the Corrib Court area of Ballymagroarty.

A local councillor claimed that the attack, which happened at 11.40pm last night, was a 'shooting by appointment' attack.
