Woman hospitalised after being shot with air pistol

A 20-year-old woman is recovering in hospital after she was shot with a high-powered airpistol following a row on the northside of Cork City.

The woman had to have a pellet surgically removed after it embedded in her left thigh.

Gardaí believe that just seconds before the shooting, she had been involved in a dispute with another woman at Kilmore Road, Knocknaheeny.
