No clear motive in gun attack on hospital guards

MYSTERY continued yesterday to surround a shocking gun attack on security guards at a Dublin hospital.

Garda sources yesterday played down media reports linking the shooting to an earlier incident in St James’s Hospital’s A&E department.

Two security guards, both foreign nationals, were injured when armed men opened fire on them at around 4.30am on Tuesday. The guards, aged in their 20s, received minor wounds from what appeared to be shotgun pellets.
