    The Mirror have put up a video taken from cctv of the shooting. (sorry I can't do links).

    Crazy stuff altogether.

    Crazy stuff for the staff to be fighting back and taking a bullet over a few hundred euro. Also could be wrong but it seems like the father and son only decided to do the robbery that night but had a gun lying around ready to go.

    Do the culprits have any history with the Hutch-Kinahan feud?

    And yet another incident on Jan 1st...

    Gardai identify man who presented at Connolly Hospital with gunshot wounds.
    GARDAI from Blanchardstown have identified a north Dublin man in his 30s who presented at Connolly Hospital with a gunshot wound to his lower leg at around 7am yesterday.

    “I’ve been shot,” the man is alleged to have told medics prior to fleeing the hospital before he was treated.

    The 37-year-old from Blakestown arrived at the hospital with his older brother.

    The man is known to gardai who are still trying to piece together the chain of events.

    Officers have made contact with the victim.

    How is it possible to get shot three times in the chest and come away with non life threatening injuries? I mean the law of averages says that out of three shots to the chest, at least one of them has a good chance of getting into your heart or one of your lungs...

    RTE

    A 27-year-old man is in a critical condition following a shooting in Bray, Co Wicklow.

    An investigation is under way after the man was shot a number of times at St Laurence's Terrace at around 8.45pm.

    It is understood that he was sitting in the passenger seat of a car when a dark coloured car pulled up beside him, and a gunman fired several shots in through the window

    The victim was shot in the chest and body.

    The gunman was driven away from the scene of the shooting.

    Emergency personnel treated the man at the scene before he was taken to hospital where he is in a critical condition.

    The scene has been preserved and gardaí at Bray are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to contact them.

    The victim is well known to gardaí for theft, violence and threatening and abusive behaviour.

    He has also served time in prison and is believed to have only been released recently.

    Detectives are still trying to establish a motive for the shooting, but are satisfied it is connected to serious crime in Bray.

    Punishment shooting. Chap was skimming profits for himself. The gun man was kind enough to offer him a shot in the arm or the leg and he didn't choose quick enough so it was decided for him.

    My post was two after another post with a tweet saying his injuries were non life threatening.

    His condition changed after that and tbh with ya, I’m just guessing as I have never seen a gun or a bullet proof vest before ;)

    Medics have saved the life of a man who was blasted in the chest by a hitman as he sat in his car.

    The victim, named locally as Stephen Somers, was in a Volkswagen Golf on St Laurence’s Terrace in Bray, Co Wicklow, when it happened.

    The gunman blasted the 27-year-old twice in the chest and once in the leg.

    While probably not a hardened gangster, he certainly wasn't the brightest.

    I suppose it doesn't really matter whether he's hard or bright, he obviously hung in the wrong circles and pi$$ed someone off enough to have 3 pumped into him. I'm sure the attempt was to eliminate him too.

    I saw a whatsapp video doing the rounds a few months back of a smallish built guy in the back of a car getting a fair few heavyish smacks because he owed them €180,000!!! :eek: I think they said in the video.
    How in christs name could you build up that much debt?? No idea if he was finished off after that, as I don't know who anyone in the video were, but if not, what would it take? Do they then collect the €180,000 off the people that they think owed him?
    Horrible life to be involved in, pure and utter scum.

    For sums like that it would often be that the Gardaí found / seized the drugs. Usually being held by some Patsy who hasn't a clue and is either ingratiating himself with the big boys or owes them a smaller sum to begin with.

    in spite of what the star says no he is not a boxer


    He may have trained for a few weeks in a community club set up in fassarow a few years ago but he is not a boxer


    the only connection to bray boxing club shooting is taylor and sommers may know each other via small town criminality
