Gerald Deehan said gunmen tried to kill him and stop him speaking out over drugs

DETECTIVES investigating a shooting incident at Margaret Street in Derry on Tuesday of this week have released two men.

The men, aged 32 and 34, were arrested on suspicion of two counts of attempted murder.

The suspects have been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

Masked men entered 58-year-old Gerald Deehan’s home on Margaret Street on Tuesday night.

Shots were fired at Mr Deehan and his son Ryan, 30, who has since undergone surgery after being injured in the foot.

Mr Deehan said the attack was carried out because he refused to stop talking out about drug dealers in the city who were poising people with their drugs.

Police say that inquiries into the double murder are ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to contact detectives at Strand Road on 101 quoting reference number 1838 08/10/19.

Information can also be given anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
