Anyone who witnessed the incident is being asked for information about a Volkswagon Passat seen at the scene.

POLICE IN DERRY have issued an appeal for information over a shooting at a pub last night.

It happened in the car park of the pub on Northland Road at around 8.30pm.

“A man aged in his 30’s suffered an injury to his hand after a firearm was discharged following a function at the premises,” a police statement said.

“He was taken to hospital for treatment and discharged a short time later.”

“Detectives are following a definite line of enquiry and are appealing for anyone who noticed a grey coloured Volkswagon Passat in the Northland Road area at the time of the incident to contact Strand Road on 101.”

    As I lie here in my warm bed I can hear the sound of crackling as passing cars drive over the frozen ice and slush. Be careful out there folks…

    @John Cronin: I would imagine a banana is thicker and longer than a sausage and more fulfilling when frozen

    I can see Tuesday is for Nerds on here. The West and midlands/North seem to really get it badly. Not funny for farmers [no time to warm their bananas] out at dawn snow or not to check on animals and then the elderly being snowed in. Nope I see nothing to laugh ab out.

    @Rosemarie Martin: Your comment doesn’t really make sense. The term “Nerd” means overly intelligent.
