Man shot at as he arrives home

More details are emerging today on the apparent shooting incident which we reported on last night.

Gardaí have confirmed the incident took place and have said that two gunmen who had apparently been lying in wait for a man, opened fire on him as he was returning to his house in the Kilteragh housing estate in Dooradoyle around 11.30pm.

Up to 6 shots were fired in the attack which saw the mans house and car being struck but amazingly he was not hit.Gardaí say the man who is in his thirties is very fortunate not to have been killed or seriously injured.
