A man has been taken to hospital after being shot in the leg outside a house in Derry.
Police say the shooting happened just before 7.45pm on Friday, January 8 in Creggan Heights.
The victim has been taken to hospital for treatment to his injuries, which are not believed to be life threatening, but "may be life changing".
NIFRS are also in attendance after a vehicle was set on fire at the scene.
Detective Sergeant Gavin McLaughlin said: "We have launched an investigation and while keeping an open mind, this barbaric shooting in a residential area bears all the hallmarks of a paramilitary style assault.
"Those responsible for this criminal act do not represent the interests of this community, nor do they contribute anything to it. They do it to try and exert influence, or gain control of those they claim to represent.
"I am appealing for anyone with information to contact police on 101 quoting reference number 1634 8/01/21, or submit a report online using our non-emergency reporting form via http://www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/. You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at http://crimestoppers-uk.org/."
SDLP Leader Colum Eastwood said: "Tonight’s shooting in Creggan marks the second attack on the community since Wednesday night. Yesterday we heard the pleas of people of Creggan to those responsible to put a stop to this violence.
"The people of Derry do not want this. They must stop terrorising our community now."
