A well-known criminal is fighting for his life today after being blasted four times by a masked gunman at his gym.
Hardman Sean Enright suffered serious injuries to his neck, back and stomach but sources say that he is likely to survive the latest attempt to whack him.
The 32 year-old was walking into his Universal Warrior Gym in Finglas, Dublin, at 11am when a gunman came at him from behind.
He opened fire at point blank range in the hallway of the gym, hitting the bodybuilder at least four times.
The father of three slumped to the ground and when an ambulance arrived just minutes later paramedics thought he was dead.
He was rushed to the Mater hospital and is in a serious condition with gardai saying that the bodybuilder’s sheer muscle mass may have saved his life.
A major garda hunt is underway with sources saying that Enright had made a number of enemies. He has been warned on several occasions in recent months that his life is in danger.
In January 2011 he was lucky to survive after being shot outside his home in Clonsilla, west Dublin.
He was reversing his car when a gunman came out of the shadows and shot at Enright nine times.
He was hit in the chest by three bullets and stumbled into his house before he collapsed into a coma. However he somehow managed to escape with his life.
In 2008 Enright had another lucky escape when he was attacked while working as a doorman at a pub in Tallaght.
He refused to let a man in and he returned later in the night and stabbed Enright, although he wasn’t seriously injured.
