Teenagers injured in separate paramilitary attacks
An 18-year-old-man and a 17-year-old-youth have been injured in separate paramilitary style attacks last night.
The 17-year-old youth was attacked by two men in an alleyway in the Kilclief Gardens area of Bangor at around 9.25pm. His attackers are described as being dressed in black and wearing scarves to hide their faces. The teenager suffered a gunshot wound to the left leg, but his injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
In an earlier incident, an 18-year-old man was attacked at around 7.30pm in the White Rise Estate in Lisburn.
The man answered a knock on his door and was dragged into the garden of the house by five men who were wearing dark jackets, hats and gloves.
The men produced two handguns and threatened to shoot him. After a scuffle, the men ran off and no shots were fired.
One of the men has been described as being between 39 - 40 years old, of thin build and with dark hair greying at the sides, another man is said to have dark hair and be of medium build.
