Shooting ‘another case of mistaken identity’

A man has been shot and injured in what gardaí suspect is a second case of mistaken identity in recent days. The man who lives in Redford Park, Greystones, Co Wicklow, was named locally as Rupert Stanley.

Mr Stanley allegedly answered the door to two men at around 9.30pm on Monday night who proceeded to shoot at him before fleeing the scene in a small hatchback car.

Gardaí believe Mr Stanley, 58, who was hit in the abdomen and arm in the attack, may have targeted in a case of mistaken identify.
