Man jailed for 12 years for shooting garda
A gunman who blasted a garda sergeant with a shotgun in a cocaine-crazed incident arising from a feud between members of two west Dublin families has been given a 12-year sentence.
Sergeant Mark Clarke thought he was going to die when he was hit in the chest and arm after a sawn-off shotgun was discharged from a stolen car and lead pellets may remain in his body for the result of his life.
