Man Shot In Both Legs In West Belfast
An investigation has been launched after a man was shot in both legs in west Belfast.
Police have said that the 20-year-old man was attacked at Ardmonagh Parade at about 10.30pm on Thursday, 12 April.
The man is being treated in hospital for gunshot wounds to both legs.
Detective Inspector Harvey said: "Shortly before 10:30 pm last night it was reported that a 20-year-old man was attacked by three men and shot three times in the legs and ankle. The victim was then taken to hospital where he received treatment for the injuries sustained during this violent crime.
"This was a brutal and despicable attack, which has left the victim with potentially life changing injuries. It is yet another example of how criminal groups seek to control communities through fear and violence."
Police have appealed for anyone who witnesses any suspicious activity in the area last night to contact police in Musgrave, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
