Did I mishear or was it a suicide attempt?

Not much detail in this report.

Actually if it was suicide attempt then that is almost more distressing. What 14 year old should be so stressed or depressed that they want to take their own life?

I hope he pulls through and gets the help he needs if this is true.

According to Aengus:

It was a legally held firearm, in the boy's own home, no sign of a break in nor foul play suspected at this early stage.



Speculation on what happened not needed at this point I reckon

described as a personal tragedy by Gardai and others

It's very sad either way.

Adrian Kennedy has just mentioned it too. He said the boy is in a critical condition and Gardai are investigating.

Out of respect for the lad and his family we'll keep this closed.
