Two arrested over drive-by shooting

Stephen Hynes, 16, was hit with shotgun cartridge pellets in the back and head by a gunman firing out of a car. He was talking to two other people, a 17-year-old male and a 21-year who is known to gardaí, Karl Fay, outside a house on Lismore Rd, Crumlin, shortly after 9pm on Tuesday.

Gardaí believe Mr Fay was the intended target of the shooting, which could have claimed the lives of two innocent people.
