    I don't see anything up about this yet

    http://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/teenage-girl-shot-dead-in-dublin-538989.html

    I must say I had to do a double take when I saw it was a girl.. I think I've been hardened to hearing about shootings in Dublin these days but it's very unusual to hear of girls being the victims..
    A teenage girl has been shot dead in Dublin.

    The incident happened at about 10.35pm in the Jobstown area last night. The scene has been sealed off.

    The 16-year-old girl was in a car at Brookview Way in Jobstown when she was wounded by shots fired from another car.

    She was rushed to Tallaght hospital for treatment. However she lost her fight for life at 1.15am this morning.

    The scene of the shooting has been sealed off for a technical examination, while a post mortem is expected to be carried out on the girl's remains later.

    RIP to the poor girl :(

    I heard on the radio this morning.

    Scumbags need to be caught and bet within an inch of their lives before being locked up!

    I'm not going to jump on the Liberalist band wagon and go "RIP girl that we didn't know"

    Quite likely she / they were due what they got. You don't get shot in Dublin for no good reason.

    You are probably right and most people are thinking it but there is no need to say it

    Have immediate family who live up there and everyone is in shock. The girl was a member of the travelling community who live locally, there is a couple of families feuding up there. No doubt this is related to this feud.

    All the same nobody deserves to die like that. RIP to the young girl.

    Very sad loss of life, but when I heard it was 'travellers' I just rolled my eyes.

    This is a disgraceful post. You don't even know the girl and you are judging her solely because she was shot in a rough part of Dublin.

    No comment.

    (because I know nothing about the case)

    However, any 16 year old dying is a tragedy and a sad loss.

    Wait...I did comment after all.

    If commiserating the death of a child is a liberalist bandwagon then paint me pink. A case of wrong place, wrong time most likely

    Why not say it.Brushing thing's under the carpet does not help society in general.

    What the hell could a sixteen year old girl have done to warrant being shot dead?

    This must just be an exception then:

    I'd be willing to bet whoever she was in the car with was the target. Not her.

    Jesus wept...:rolleyes:

    Irregardless of background is it too much to expect a smidgen of compassion for another human being?

    RIP.

    That was my first thought too.. and I've just heard on the radio that she was shot from a passing car.. so I'd say it was quite likely that she was not the intended target..

    there is no good reason.

    WTF is wrong with you? Her family are grieving, the girl is dead and you post idiotic prejudice $hit like that with absoulutely none of the facts to hand.

    OK, in general, what does a 16 year old girl do to deserve being shot? Whatever is behind it, it's a tragedy.

    I never said she deserved it.

    No one deserves to have their life taken from that. but that != shot for no reason.
