West Belfast shooting: Man critical after being shot in chest at Oranmore Street | West Belfast shooting: Man critical after being shot in chest at Oranmore Street |
(about 1 hour later) | |
A gun attack in west Belfast that left a man critically ill in hospital was "incredibly vicious and barbaric", an SDLP councillor has said. | |
The 38-year-old sustained one gunshot wound to the side of his chest at a house in Oranmore Street in the Clonard area. | |
Police have appealed for information about the shooting that happened at about 22:00 BST on Monday. | |
Tim Attwood of the SDLP said it was "a truly depraved act". | |
He said local people did not "want guns on our streets or people put in hospital by those taking the law into their own hands". | |
The victim is being treated at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. |
