Gardaí fired shots in attempt to bring vehicle to a halt

THE number of shots fired by gardaí at the moving bus remained unclear last night as the investigation team began piecing together the events which left one woman dead and more than a dozen others injured.

Gardaí confirmed last night that shots were fired at three locations during the chase. They were fired at Davitt Road, at the Red Cow roundabout and at Rathcoole near the bus depot where the chase eventually ended.

It is believed the shots were discharged by members of the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Garda special branch.
