Smithfield fair shooting accused may face more charges

A 17-year--old boy, who allegedly shot at two men with an “improvised firearm” during Dublin's Smithfield horse fair last month, may could face additional charges, a judge heard today.

The boy, who cannot be identified because he is a juvenile, had been charged earlier at the Dublin Children's Court with violent disorder and unlawful possession of an “improvised firearm” in connection with the incident on March 6 last.
