SDLP Leader Colum Eastwood has condemned the shooting of a man in the Whitehouse Road area of Derry.
He appealed for those responsible to stop their campaign of violence against the community.
Police remain at the scene after a man was in the leg around 9.30 pm last night. He was taken to hospital for treatment.
Said the Foyle MP: “Last night’s shooting is yet another dangerous attempt to intimidate people in our community and has led to disruption on the road this morning.
“Our communities do not need this intimidation and the threat of violence hanging over them.
“Nobody wants to live in fear.
“These attacks hark back to the darkest period of our past and I call on those responsible to end this violence and for these guns to be removed from our streets before someone else is wounded or worse.
“If you have any information please contact the PSNI.”
