Detectives were today investigating three paramilitary-style shootings in Belfast.
The first happened in West Belfast, where a 17-year-old youth was shot in both ankles. He was found lying in alleyway last night in Servia Street, off the Falls Road.
A 26-year-old man was shot in both legs in the Shankill parade area at 8.15 p.m., while another man was shot in both legs in the Glencurran walk area at 10.30 p.m. A PSNI spokeswoman said both men had been taken to hospital.
