Two men injured in paramilitary-style shootings
Detectives in Newtownards are investigating two separate paramilitary-style shooting incidents in Co Down on Thursday.
In the first incident, a 33-year-old man was stopped by two masked men and shot in the lower left leg while running in the vicinity of Canal Row, Newtownards, shortly before 8.15pm.
His attackers were both between 5ft 11 and 6ft tall of heavy build and dressed in dark coloured clothing. They are believed to have headed off after the attack towards Comber Road.
