Teenager Shot In The Leg In Newtownards
The PSNI have issued an appeal for information and witnesses following a shooting incident in Newtownards.
At around 8.40pm last night it was reported that a 19-year-old man had been shot once in his leg in the Ballyreagh Way area of the town.
Officers attended the scene, together with colleagues from the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, and he was subsequently taken to hospital for treatment for his injuries.
Detective Sergeant Westbury said: "There can be no justification for this type of violence. Those who are involved in this attack 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.
"Our investigation is at a very early stage, and I would urge anyone who was in the area at the time, and who may have information, dash-cam, CCTV or doorbell footage which could assist with our enquiries, to get in touch on 101, quoting reference number 1548 28/01/25.
"A report can be submitted online using the non-emergency reporting form via www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/ or you can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org/."
