Man injured in house gun attack Gang shoot homeowner to get guns
(about 2 hours later)
A man has been shot in the leg at a house in west Belfast, the police have said. Legally-held guns have been stolen from two houses in west Belfast, with one man being shot when he refused to give a gang his firearms.
It happened at a property on Larkspur Rise off the Suffolk Road and was reported to police at about 1830 GMT. The first robbery happened at about 1830 GMT on Wednesday in Larkspur Rise off the Suffolk Road.
Police are at the scene of the shooting. The injuries sustained by the victim are not believed to be life threatening. A man in his 30s was shot in the leg when he refused to hand over weapons to a three-strong gang.
The injured man has been taken to hospital. Just 45 minutes later three men forced the occupant of a house on Ballymurphy Road to hand over firearms.
Police are investigating a link between the two incidents.
The shot man's injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, while the other person is being treated for shock.
The police have appealed for anyone who may have been in the Suffolk Road or Ballymurphy Road areas around these times or who may have any information to contact them.
