Gardaí seek driver of car seen near scene of shooting attack

GARDAÍ are seeking the driver of a dark-coloured Volkswagen Golf who was seen close to where a getaway car was burnt out by a would-be assassin.

The assassin’s target, a man in his 30s, was in a stable condition in hospital yesterday after being shot in the stomach and shoulder at a house on the northside of Cork.

A senior garda said the man’s partner was in the house at the time, along with two children, aged six and three.
