Gardaí launch murder probe into Dublin pub shooting
Gardaí in Dublin have launched a murder investigation after one man was killed and another man wounded in a shooting incident in West Dublin last night.
A lone gunman walked into the Blackhorse Inn pub on the Tyrconnell Road shortly after midnight and fired a number of shots at two men.
Both were rushed to St. James Hospital where the 22-year-old man was pronounced dead.
The other man, who is 21, sustained non life-threatening injuries.
The attacker left the scene on foot, but fired more shots at the outside of the pub as he made his getaway.
However, no one else was hit.
The scene has been sealed off this afternoon as a full Garda technical examination gets underway.
Meanwhile, Gardaí say about an hour previous to the shooting, two men armed with guns entered the same pub.
They appeared to be looking for a number of individuals, but left the premises within a few minutes and drove in a red car in the direction of Bluebell.
