Eastwood appeals for information following shooting

SDLP Foyle MP Colum Eastwood has said that the shooting of a teenager in Derry last night was a brutal attack that has no place in the city.

Mr Eastwood appealed for anyone with information to bring it to the police.

Colum Eastwood MP said: “This is a shocking attack on a man in his late teens. Police believe the victim was shot in the leg some time between 9.30pm and 10pm on Springtown Road.

“The people behind this brutal and totally brazen attack clearly didn’t care about the safety of anyone in the area.

“There’s no place for this in the city and no one wants it. These people need to give up and go away.

“I would appeal to anyone who has any information to bring it to the police as soon as possible.”
