Man Mistakenly Gunned Down By Gang
A Limerick gang has gunned down a man in cold blood in a case of mistaken identity.
According to reports this morning, rugby captain Shane Geoghegan, 28, is believed to have been mistaken for a known drugs importer who also lived in the area by the gang.
Mr Geoghegan was shot up to 10 times in the heinous attack which took place at around 1.30am.
Early reports suggest Members of the McCarthy/Dundon gang are the main suspects. It is believed they went to kill a drugs importer who supplies the rival Keane/Collopy gang but got the wrong man.
He was the 14th person to die at the hands of Limerick's feuding gangs since the feuding began eight years ago.
