A man has been taken to hospital after being shot in both legs during an attack in Belfast.
The attack took place in the Divismore Park area at around 7:45pm last night when two men entered a house and shot the man.
The victim has been taken to hospital for treatment.
A woman who was also in the house at the time of the shooting was not injured, but police say she has been left "extremely traumatised."
PSNI Chief Inspector Gary Reid said: "Attacks like this are reckless and involve a high and sustained level of violence.
"Those carrying out these attacks don’t care about the psychological damage they are causing to those they have injured or anyone witnessing these attacks.
“Those who are involved in violent criminal acts of this nature do not represent the interests of any community nor contribute anything to it.
"They do it to try and exert influence or gain control in communities."
The PSNI is appealing for anyone with information to contact them.
