Manhunt Underway Following Fatal Shootings In Dublin
A major manhunt is underway in Dublin, as Gardaí try to track down those responsible for yesterday's fatal shooting in Ballymun.
There's been widespread condemnation of the murders in which a mother of six, in her forties, and a man in his thirties were gunned down on Balbutcher Drive.
A post mortem is due to be carried out on the bodies of the two victims later.
Two other people have been receiving treatment for non-life-threatening injuries and a child also received minor injuries.
People in the locality say they're horrified by the killings - but not surprised, given the upsurge of violence in the city.
This neighbour was among the first on the scene of the shooting, and tried in vain to save the man's life:
