Overview
- Gardaí say a firearm was discharged at a premises on Hyde Road in Limerick at about 4.30pm on Sunday and a man in his 60s was injured at the scene.
- The injured man was taken to University Hospital Limerick for treatment and is understood to be in a stable condition.
- Officers held and sealed the scene for a technical forensic examination and recovered evidence as part of an active investigation.
- No arrests have been reported and Gardaí have not given a motive, so investigators are appealing for witnesses and for CCTV or dashcam footage.
- The shooting comes after a fatal firearm incident in early July in Dún Laoghaire and investigators say forensic results and witness accounts will determine if there is any wider link.
