Woman in 50s ‘lucky to be alive’ after drive-by shooting in broad daylight

A MIDDLE-AGED mother narrowly escaped with her life yesterday after a drive-by shooting in broad daylight in a Dublin suburb.

Two men pulled up in a car outside a house in Drimnagh and fired a number of shots into a house on Knocknarea Road.

The incident occurred just before 1pm on the busy road, with children out playing at the time.
