Ald. Guy urged people to allow a full investigation to take place.

“I am aware of an incident in the Gobnascale area of the Waterside on Saturday night in which a male sustained a gunshot wound to the chest and a police officer sustained a knife wound to their arm and head," he said.

The PSNI earlier confirmed that officers had responded to a report of concern for safety for a man at an address in Celandine Court.

“Hopefully, the injured parties will make a full recovery. I would appeal for calm at this time to allow for a proper investigation to take place unabated.”

“Police and the Ombudsman are continuing to carry out inquiries in the area and I would appeal to anyone with any information in regards to the incident, to contact the witness appeal line on 0800 0327 880," said Ald. Guy.
