Man Recovers From Moira Shooting
A man is recovering following a shooting incident in Moira, County Armagh.
The 55-year-old victim was shot in the hand by two masked men as he was getting out of his car at about 19:50 on Tuesday evening.
He was taken to the Lagan Valley Hospital in Lisburn and was later transferred to the Ulster Hospital for plastic surgery.
His injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
Police have appealed for anyone with any information regarding the shooting to come forward.
SDLP Lisburn City Councillor Pat Catney described the shooting as "despicable".
Cllr Catney said: "I strongly condemn this attack, whatever this was about or whatever issues face the community. A man has been injured and his life was threatened. These masked men came onto our streets to terrorise and set out to kill.
"I would appeal to the local community to send out a clear message to those responsible that they have absolutely no support. This type of vigilante justice is not welcome in Moira and across Northern Ireland.
"Whilst the specific circumstances in of the shooting are still unclear. I would encourage anyone with information on this incident to contact the PSNI immediately."
