Three questioned in connection with fatal shooting

Three men have been arrested in connection with the latest gangland killing in Dublin.

A 27-year-old man was gunned down outside a house in Tallaght last night.

A 26-year-old woman was also injured in the attack, and is now recovering in hospital.

It is the eighth gangland killing in Dublin so far this year, and gardaí believe it is linked to the ongoing feud between rival gangs in Crumlin and Drimnagh.

The victims - a couple in their twenties - were sitting in a car outside a house in Tymon North Park in Tallaght at around 8.30pm last night, when a gunman pulled up and opened fire.

The 27-year-old man was shot several times and died at the scene, while the 26-year-old woman was hit in the leg.

Gardaí arrested three men - one in his late teens and the others in their mid-20s - in the Crumlin area late last night.

They are being held and Rathfarnham and Tallaght garda stations.
