Shooting Attributed To Real IRA
Thursday, October 08, 2009
A male police officer was beaten unconscious last night after going to the aid of a 27-year-old man shot in a paramilitary gun attack in Derry.
A Police Service of Northern Ireland patrol came under attack in the Bogside following a call that a man had been wounded in the leg in a so-called punishment assault.
Police officers were also bombarded with stones and other missiles as they accompanied an ambulance into the area to take the injured man to hospital.
The shooting is understood to have been carried out by the Real IRA, which has a growing presence in the city.
An SDLP councillor, Pat Ramsey, condemned those behind the shooting and the attacks on the police patrol. He called on the republican dissidents to "stop hiding behind their masks" and put themselves forward in elections to gauge how much support they actually have in Derry.
