PSNI officers in Coleraine are investigating a paramilitary-style attack carried out on a man at a house in the Kurin Lane area of Garvagh, Co Derry, last night.
A 45-year-old man was shot in both arms and legs after a number of masked men broke into his home just before 10.30pm.
The man was also beaten with a bat or metal bar.
He is currently in hospital receiving treatment for his injuries.
Detective Chief Inspector White said: "The man's teenage daughter, who was also in the house at the time of the shooting and beating, was threatened to be shot by one of the violent perpetrators before her mobile phone was taken to prevent her calling for help. An attempt was also made to set fire to items in the house.
"This a sickeningly vicious shooting and beating which has left this man with serious and potentially life changing injuries, and a young girl severely traumatised."
The PSNI is appealing to members of the public who may have information on the incident to contact police.
