Shootings: Gardai have sealed off the areas for technical examinations

A man in the capital has been injured following two separate shooting incidents.

Shots were fired at two houses in separate attacks in the capital.

Just after 11pm last night, shots were fired at a house on Lissadell Road in Drimnagh, close to where Christopher Zambra was shot dead two weeks ago.

Three people were in the house at the time but nobody was injured.

A short time later shots were fired into a house on Walkinstown Drive.

There were five people in the house at the time and one man was injured.

He was rushed to St James Hospital where his injuries were described as non life threatening. He has since been released.

Gardai sealed off the scenes for technical examinations and said a silver car may have been used in the first incident.

They have opened an investigation and have appealed to anybody with information to contact them on 1800 666111.
