Eight Arrested Over Shooting Incident
A total of eight people are under arrest in connection with a shooting incident that led to the injury of a member of Gardaí.
Gardai in Ronanstown investigating the shooting incident, which occurred in the Greenfort area of Clondalkin on December 13 last, today arrested eight people including five males and three females.
They are being detained under the Offences against the State Act in the Leixlip, Lucan and Clondalkin Garda Stations in West Dublin.
Gardaí said this morning said the arrests were made with the assistance of local and national units, including the Emergency Response Unit and the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
At the time of the shooting Gardaí were investigating reports of firebomb damage to a house. A number of shots were discharged in the direction of a neighbouring house, one of which entered through the front door where three members of An Garda Síochána were speaking with the resident.
One of them, understood to be a sergeant, received injuries to his hands and body from flying glass after five shots were fired into the hallway where the Gardaí were standing.
Gardai are appealing for anyone with information in connection with the incident to contact them at Ronanstown 6667700 or the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111.
