Gardaí have launched an investigation into a shooting that occurred at the Charlestown Shopping Centre in Finglas shortly before 6.30pm.
It has been reported that one bullet hit a family car, and another was lodged in the car seat where an infant child had been sitting. Fortunately, the child was not hit and did not sustain any injuries.
Details are scant, but it is believed that two cars then sped from the scene. No casualties have been reported.
TD for the area Noel Rock said:
“A Friday night at a shopping centre shows there is a clear seeping of gangland crime into the everyday lives of families.
“The fact that these shots narrowly missed a young child shows the real danger posed by these thugs.”
