Gardaí find gun used in Clondalkin shooting

Gardaí have recovered the gun used in last night's shooting in Dublin, in which a man was critically injured.

The victim - a 30-year-old man - is being cared for at Tallaght Hospital.

He was shot at a number of times outside a house on Foxdene Park in Clondalkin just after 8.30pm.

A lone man armed with a handgun carried out the attack, in which the victim was shot several times in the shoulder and head just after he alighted from a car.
