Shots fired at young boys as gang feud escalates

THE feud between two Limerick gangs has taken a sinister twist with a gunman opening fire on two brothers aged eight and 12 while they played on an open green near their homes.

The brothers are related to a family connected to one of the main feuding gangs. Neither was injured.

The car used by the gunman was later found burned out in the Ballyclough area.
