A man is fighting for his life in hospital after he was shot in Limerick City Wednesday morning.
27 year old Michael Lynch was shot during a row with another man in O’Malley Park, Southill around 8am. Gardai arrived on scene and a 48 year old man was arrested.
A 20 year old woman was also arrested at the scene for public order offences. The detained man, who is from O’Malley Park, is currently being detained at Roxboro Garda Station under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act.
A large area around a house was preserved and a technical examination has been carried out.
The victim remains in a critical condition at the Mid Western Regional Hospital in Dooradoyle and Gardai are appealing for anyone with information relating to the shooting to contact them at Roxboro Garda 061-214340.
I have to laugh. The same week there are and array of shootings, fracas, pipe bombs etc, the Gardai come out and say there is a decrease on crime in Limerick. lmfao hahaha what a bunch of cretins. I see they kept their usual monthly searches low key this month. It’s not getting the same reaction from the public anymore. And, it seems a couple of the boys in blue are being quizzed in relation to links/connections to criminal gangs! No wonder this country is in the state it’s in. Corruptville.
