Two men are being treated in hospital following separate shootings in Derry.

Later, a man living in Creggan Heights was shot three times in his left leg after masked men broke into his home.

Police believe the apparent paramilitary-style punishment shootings are linked and they have asked anyone with information about them to get in touch with detectives.
