No officers were injured in the attack
Officers are urging violent offenders in Derry to cease their behavior 'immediately,' after a Forth successive night of violence gripped the City.
Reports suggest around 16-petrol bombs and five paint bombs were thrown from the Bogside area into the Fountain estate.
While six shots were fired at PSNI officers close to the city’s famous walls, according to Chief Inspector Neil Beck. No officers were injured in the attack.
“For a fourth consecutive night police officers dealt with violence and disorder,” he said.
“Around 16 petrol bombs and five paint bombs were thrown from the Bogside area into the Fountain and, in what can only be described as a blatant bid to murder police officers, shots were fired at police close to our city’s walls.
“We believe that around six shots were fired striking the walls and nearby trees, however fortunately none of our officers were injured.
“Police officers should not be targeted under any circumstances and their lives should not be put in danger by simply doing their jobs, attempting to keep people safe.
“I am appealing to those with influence in the area to please assist us in trying to bring this unnecessary and unwanted violence to an end. This isn’t wanted by the community and those involved are urged to cease this activity immediately.”
