Gardaí investigating a shooting incident in Dublin 15 on 6th March 2019 are appealing for witnesses. Gardaí and emergency services were called to the scene on Blakestown Road, Dublin 15 shortly after 5pm.
A man in his 20s was traveling in a vehicle on Blakestown Road when he was shot a number of time. The injured man was taken to Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown where he is being treated for gunshot wounds.
