Man And Woman Shot In Coleraine
Police have launched an investigation after a man and woman were shot in Coleraine.
The shooting attack happened at a property in the James Street area at around 7.15pm on Sunday, 20 February.
A masked man entered the house and shot the male in the leg. The woman was shot in the foot.
The victims injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
Alliance East L'Derry candidate Chris McCaw said: "For someone to enter a house in Coleraine and shoot two people is shocking. There can be no excuse or justification for this act of violence and I condemn it without reservation.
"I send my best wishes to the man and woman and hope they have a speedy recovery. Anyone with information about this attack should report it to the police or the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111."
Sinn Féin's Caoimhe Archibald condemned the shooting.
She said: "Last night's shooting of a woman and man in James Street was wrong and I condemn it.
"There can be no justification for such actions and whoever is responsible needs be held to account."
