Mother and baby survive gun attack

A MOTHER and baby had a narrow escape after shots were fired through a downstairs window of their family home in the early hours of yesterday morning.

The 39-year-old mother was feeding her four-week-old baby in the living room of her home at 4 Springdale, Old Youghal Road, Cork, when the attack occurred.

Yesterday, the baby’s father, who wished to remain anonymous, described the act as “cowardly”.
