Gardai probe drive-by shooting in Limerick housing estate
Gun attack took place in Southill in the early hours of Saturday morning
GARDAI have launched an investigation into a drive-by shooting in a housing estate on the southside of Limerick city.
A nine second video of the gun attack, which has been widely shared on social media, has been seen by Limerick Live.
It shows the gunman, who is driving the car, slowing down outside a property in the Southill area. The car then stops on the road while at least four shots are fired from a handgun.
The weapon appears to jam at the end of the video clip. The shooter, who is being filmed by a person in the passenger seat, is wearing gloves and a balaclava.
A garda spokesperson confirmed officers in Limerick are investigating after shots were fired at a residential property in John Carew Park in the early hours of Saturday, February 21.
The garda spokesperson said that criminal damage was caused to the property but no persons were injured.
“Investigations are ongoing,” said a garda spokesperson.
Anybody with any information is asked to contact investigating gardai in Roxboro on 061 214340 or the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111.
