Teenager, 17, injured in shooting Gunmen shoot son of stab victim
(about 11 hours later)
A 17-year-old youth has been shot in the leg in a paramilitary-style attack in west Belfast. The son of a man who was stabbed to death in a street fight in 2006, has been shot close to the scene of his father's killing.
He has been taken to hospital, but his injuries are not thought to be life-threatening. Gary Devlin, 17, was shot in the leg on the Whiterock Road on Monday evening by three masked men who made off in a car.
Three men attacked the teenager close to a shop on the Whiterock Road at about 2215 BST on Monday before making off in a waiting car. The teenager was taken to hospital, but his injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Police have appealed for anyone with information concerning the incident to contact them. Two years ago, his father, Gerard, was stabbed during a street fight between two feuding families in the area.
Bernadette O'Rawe, the aunt of Gerard Devlin, confirmed that Gary had been shot.
"He was at the chip shop with a friend," she said.
"A car pulled up and three men got out, they had balaclavas on and they chased them. He was shot with a shotgun as he ran away."
She said that a decision about whether to operate on the teenager had not been taken.
Ms O'Rawe said this was not a paramilitary punishment shooting.
"For anyone to shoot a kid is quite shocking," she said. "There are too many people carrying guns around here and there are criminal gangs."
A police spokesman said they were investigating the attack in which a teenager was shot in the right leg.
Gerard Devlin, 39, a father of six, was stabbed in the back in front of his family at Whitecliff Parade in west Belfast in February 2006
Francisco Notarantonio, 21, of Whitecliff Parade, who admitted a charge of manslaughter, was jailed for 11 years at Belfast Crown Court last November.
