Last updated 23rd Feb 2021
A man was shot last night (Monday) in Ballymoney.
The incident took place in the Mosside Gardens area at around 7.30.
It is in the second shooting in Northern Ireland in 24 hours.
On Sunday night a 29-year-old man was left critically injured after being shot in North Belfast.
In a statement the PSNI said an investigation was under way into the incident in Ballymoney.
"Anyone who witnessed this incident or anyone with information about it is asked to call detectives on 101 quoting reference number 1841 of 22/02/21,'' the PSNI said.
DUP MLA Mervyn Storey expressed his concern over the shooting.
"Over the last number of months there have been an increased number of such attacks,'' he said.
"I have previously expressed my concern and that of the local community, that if there is not an end to these incidents someone is going to get seriously injured or even worse.
"Whatever the reason and whoever is involved I would urge them to bring this reign of terror to an end.
"Anyone with any information should give that to the Police as a matter of urgency.''
