Judge suspends shooting sentence over peace pact

A MAN who burst into a house in Limerick firing at the occupant with a pump-action shotgun walked free from Limerick Circuit Court yesterday.

Timmy Casey, aged 20, of Clonlong Halting Site, Old Cork Road, admitted having a firearm and ammunition with intent to endanger life and to a charge of assault causing harm.

Judge Carroll Moran said he was suspending a four-year jail sentence as “peace had broken out” between the Caseys and another Traveller family, locked in a feud.
