Gardaí in Dublin have discovered a burnt-out car, believed to be the one used by those involved in a shooting incident last night in which three men were injured, two critically.

A lone gunman opened fire outside the Players Lounge on Fairview Strand shortly after midnight, shooting three men, including the pub's doorman.
