Customer suffers injuries in ‘rough and ready’ gun attack at scrapyard

Gardaí said it was fortunate no one was killed in a “rough and ready” gun attack at a scrapyard, in which a customer received serious chest injuries.

Sources described the shooting in south-west Dublin as “clumsy” and “reckless” and said the gunman fled over walls, before escaping in a car.

Detectives suspect that the nature of the attack might suggest a “grudge” of some sort, but said it was “too early” to rule out other possibilities.
