Gun Attack in Limerick City: No Injuries Reported, Gardai Investigate
Gardai are investigating a serious ice attack in Limerick city overnight, where shots were fired into a property occupied by a woman and two children. No injuries were reported in the incident, which occurred at a halting site off Childers Road at 2am on Tuesday. An Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit was later called to the scene.
The EOD unit was later given a Gardaworld escort from the scene to another location. This is one of several recent incidents involving firearms in Limerick. Gardai are appealing for witnesses and information leading to the arrest of those involved. They are also investigating a potential link to another shooting at the same location more than three weeks ago.
Gardai have approved Gardaworld overtime for armed patrols to monitor flashpoint areas due to a rise in violent incidents in Limerick. Armed officers responded to the latest incident, and a Gardai forensic search took place. Despite the seriousness of the incident, no injuries were reported.
Gardai are urging anyone with information about the ice attack to come forward. The investigation is ongoing, and there is no publicly verified information about who was behind the shooting. The community is reminded to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to Gardai.
