M50 Motorway Shooting Two Men Shot At While Driving in Dublin

Police started an investigation after a shooting. Two men driving on the M50 motorway were shot at. The incident happened on Tuesday night in Dublin. Sources say the two friends were very lucky. Up to six shots were fired at their car as they were driving to escape the attackers.

The shooting started around 10:30 PM in Ballymun. The men were sitting in a car near Sillogue when two men in another car chased them. The attackers began firing near the M50 slip road, which leads to the northbound direction.

The victims told police about the chase, which went along the M50 to Clonshaugh roundabout, close to Dublin Airport. Then, they drove onto the N32 towards Malahide.

They said six shots hit the car and one bullet broke the rear window near Northern Cross. The men escaped the attackers in Kinsealy. Then, they drove to Malahide Garda Station where they left their car and ran away.

Police examined their car and found at least one bullet hit it. Nobody suffered any injuries during the ordeal. The police think a North Dublin feud caused the shooting. They are actively investigating the attack now and the Garda Press Office is gathering more information.
