Two men in custody after shoot-out with gardaí
Gardaí chased a car containing four people who they believe may have been about to carry out a gangland shooting. Shots were fired at the patrol car from a pump-action shotgun while detectives who joined in the chase fired off one round, forcing the occupants of the car to abandon it in the Bluebell district of Inchicore and flee on foot.
Two people, aged 18 and 22, were arrested in follow-up searches while a pump-action shotgun was recovered. Two other suspects are being sought by gardaí. The two arrested men were last night questioned under section 30 of the Offences against the State Act.
