Man shot in Co Derry
A man was shot by police following an incident in a Northern Ireland housing estate tonight.
He suffered a bullet wound to his leg during the shooting at Ballysally in Coleraine, Co Derry.
A Police Service of Northern Ireland spokesman said the victim’s condition was not known.
But he added: “At this stage his injuries are not thought to be life threatening.”
The shooting came amid reports of a man brandishing a pellet gun in the area.
It is understood tensions have been high in Ballysally following a vicious fight between two men last month.
A report on tonight’s shooting was expected to be compiled for the Northern Ireland Police Ombudsman, Nuala O’Loan.
