Gardaí hunt for lone pub gunman

GARDAÍ say it was a miracle no one was injured when a lone gunman carrying a sawn-off shotgun fired through the window of a crowded pub.

They are searching for the gunman who struck at the Mo Chuísle pub in Blarney Street, Cork city shortly after midnight yesterday.

He asked people standing outside the bar to move back. But while he appeared to be trying to ensure nobody got injured, he then fired one shot through the front window of the bar.
