Incident at Windy Arbours, Dublin

Will all the posters who were bashing Tallaght over the horse story be bashing Dundrum\Windy Arbour now?

In other news it's raining here in Harold's Cross. Gardaí are baffled.

And so it begins..

*smears deers blood on face*

Booooring.

Garda stand-off with armed man in Dublin suburb comes to an end

THE ALL CLEAR been given following a tense stand-off between an armed man and gardaí in the south Dublin suburb of Windy Arbour this afternoon.

Emergency services were called to the scene at Farranboley, a quiet residential estate, after a man was seen in the area with a firearm. Locals reported he had fired a number of shots. He was said to be in a “distressed” state and sitting in a car.

The situation began at around 3.30pm, when the first shots were fired. Gardaí said they were discounting earlier reports that the man had fired on members of the force.

One eye-witness told TheJournal.ie that he saw 19 squad cars drive into the estate. He said there was also an ambulance and a unit of the Fire Brigade at the scene, but that paramedics had been told to stay clear of the sealed-off area. The garda heliciopter was also in the area.

There were further reports of gunshots at around 5pm, according to one local. Gardaí had requested a media blackout as they responded to the situation. They confirmed to TheJournal.ie at 5.39pm that the operation had come to “a safe conclusion”.
