A teenager will require surgery after being shot in the leg last night in the Creggan area of Derry.
PSNI received the report at around 10.10 pm that the young man was being taken to hospital for serious injuries.
It’s understood that he was walking to meet a friend when he was followed by several people and shot in his leg.
