Garda Appeal For Help In Shooting Investigation
Gardaí investigating the murder of a 30-year-old man in Co Tipperary on Wednesday morning have appealed to the public for assistance as they try to trace a car used in the shooting.
Shane Rossiter, from Clonmel, was shot in the stomach when he went to answer a knock at the door of the house he was sharing with his girlfriend at Church Lane in Golden, near Cashel, at about 6.45am.
There were four other people in the house at the time – two men and two women – and they raised the alarm. Mr Rossiter was rushed by ambulance to South Tipperary General Hospital where he died a short time later.
Gardaí under Supt Nicholas McGrath of Tipperary town launched a full murder inquiry and the scene of the shooting was cordoned off to allow the Garda Technical Bureau carry out a full forensic examination of the scene.
Gardaí are particularly anxious to speak to anyone who may have seen a four-door black saloon car which they believe was used by the two-man gang to carry out the shooting and which may have been seen around Golden yesterday morning.
