16-Year-Old Injured In Drive-By Shooting
A 16-year-old boy is seriously ill in hospital after he was wounded in the back and arm in a drive-by shooting.
Gardai said the teenager was hit by a shotgun blast as he stood outside a house at Lismore Road in Crumlin in Dublin's south city.
The attackers pulled alongside the house at around 9.20pm and opened fire at least twice before speeding away in a black saloon.
The boy was talking to a man, who is believed to be the owner of the house.
Gardai said last night it was not immediately clear which of them was the intended target of the gunmen but the man was not injured in the attack.
Gardai immediately sealed off the area for a detailed forensic examination by technical bureau officers and began a citywide hunt for the gunmen.
The boy's name is not being published until all of his family has been notified of the shooting.
Last night officers from the Dublin South division were trying to establish a motive for the gun attack.
