Shooting victim may have been target of previous gun attack

GARDAÍ are investigating whether there is a link between the fatal shooting of drug addict Lee Kinsella and a previous gun attack on him.

Mr Kinsella, aged 30 and a father of one, was shot a number of times in front of his partner and his nine-year-old son, inside their home in Finglas, north Dublin, on Monday night.

The recovering drug addict is thought to have been the intended victim of a previous shooting last year, during which an innocent man was slightly injured.
