Shotgun attack on family home

A LIMERICK family, including four children, escaped injury early yesterday when a shotgun blast was fired through the front sitting room window of their home.

The shooting, the third in the city in recent days, occurred at about 1.15am at Sarsfield Gardens, Moyross.

Luckily, no one was in the front room when a gunman struck. The family were awakened by the blast and the sound of breaking glass.
