Cllr Kevin Camobell condemns last night’s shooting in the Creggan
A SINN Fein councillor has slammed those behind last night’s shooting in the Creggan estate.
A man cheated injury after a number of shots were fired at him in Fanad Drive around 7.30 pm.
The attack happened while children were playing in the street.
The victim is understood have been targeted in a gun attack recently near the Telstar Bar and again escaped uninjured.
Police sealed off the area for several hours during a forensic follow up search.
Councillor Kevin Campbell said the attack was “absolutely disgraceful” and said those behind it “need to give themselves a shake”.
“It’s absolutely disgraceful,” said the Sinn Fein politician on BBC Radio Foyle.
“You have children out playing, it’s a beautiful summer’s day, everyone’s enjoying themselves, and then we have someone coming along and firing shots.
“Where does this madness end? They’re way behind the times, they need to move on.
“Whatever is behind it, there’s no need for guns. “There’s no culture for guns in this community.”
