Man And Woman Shot In West Belfast
A man and woman, aged in their 50s, have been shot in the legs in west Belfast.
The attack happened at a house in Norglen Parade shortly after 6.15pm on Thursday, 12 January.
The victims, understood to be husband and wife, were taken to hospital to be treated, however their injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
There are reports that the couple were attempting to protect their son from paramilitaries.
Sinn Féin MLA Pat Sheehan said:"The shooting of a man and woman in their 50s at a house in Norglen Parade in Turf Lodge was wrong and I condemn it.
"There can be absolutely no justification for these type of actions. Whoever is responsible needs to stop these barbaric attacks immediately.
"I would call on anyone with information on this attack to bring it forward to the PSNI."
Alliance Justice spokesperson Trevor Lunn said: "Yet again we see guns on the streets of Belfast. There can be no justification for this type of attack and whoever was behind it needs to be condemned without equivocation.
"They also need to face justice and I would urge anyone with information to pass it to the police or anonymously to the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111. I send my best wishes to the couple injured in this senseless and cowardly act of violence for a full recovery."
