18-year-old man from County Antrim was shot once in each arm and legA teenager is recovering in hospital after being shot four times in County Antrim. The 18-year-old man was shot in each arm and leg in the early hours of Sunday, in what police have described as a paramilitary-style attack. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said the “brutal” attack took place at a house in the Moneycannon Road area of Ballymoney. “What we saw in last night’s vicious attack in Ballymoney was the real and brutal face of paramilitarism,” he said. Far too often, those responsible for such attacks escape justice and there is a sense of impunity to their actions.”
