Two questioned over shooting in Dublin

Gardaí are continuing to question a man and a woman in relation to a gruesome shooting in Dublin’s north inner city on Sunday night, which may be linked to an 11-hour crime spree.

The victim, who has yet to be identified due to the severity of his injuries, was killed after being shot at close range in the head and upper body with a shotgun near the Killarney Court flat complex on Empress Place, Buckingham St, just before 12pm.

Detectives were last night trying to uncover a motive for the shooting.
