Two men injured in shooting in Derry

Two men have been injured in a shooting in Derry.

The shooting happened at the Rinmore Drive area of Derry shortly after half past six yesterday evening.
Two men were shot and received gunshot wounds to their legs – both men in their 40s and 30s have been taken to hospital for treatment for their injuries.
