6 year old girl injured in shooting incident

A six year old girl had to be taken to the regional hospital following a shooting incident in Southill this afternoon.

The girl was playing in the front garden of a house when she was hit with a shot from a pellet gun on the corner of Collins Avenue and Southill.

It is believed that the occupants of two cars were firing the pellet shots at each other when the child was hit by a stray pellet.

It is not known at this time if the exchange of fire between the two vehicles was feud related.

The child’s injuries were luckily not serious and she has since been discharged from hospital.

    Says a lot about Limerick really when after a 6 year old child is shot the BIG DEBATE is about was it serious, it was only as pellet gun , the DUBLIN MEDIA are out to get us - jesus wept - how many of the people on this board have kids - ever had to go to A&E with a child? Young lad of the crawfors shot - Millie and Gavin alomts burned to death - now another poor child caught in a drugs - ego - family feud- revenge - turf war

    As for earlier comments about hoods playing grand theft auto - think there;s an element of that on this board as well - if all of ye are so concerned why aren't you doing something about it instead of bitching and glorifying the absolute scum bag element that exists in Limerick by giving them attention on boards like this - my answer - shut up and let the guards try and deal with it - if people turned a blind eye you would be surprised by what the cops could achieve - but unfortunatley they have to abide by the law - and who is that in favour of - how many people on this board vote? Well if you do how about voting for people who could address the situation in Limerick and elsewhere in the country - if you don't vote then I strongly suggest you put away your computer - stop browsing facebook-beb- etc looking for Gangsta sites and seriously once and for all acknowledge it's the real world out there and not an internet blogg

    Now the way the headline states it makes it come across a lot worse than it is, no im not condoning what they did in any way but still it sounds to me like retards trying to have a bit of fun and a bullet went astray... I could of gotten the story wrong there but its a lot worse than a shotgun like the headline would make you believe.

    I'll say no more till I hear the full story.

    doesnt matter if it was cap gun, a child had to go to hospital as a result. how can u defend that. things are getting out of control in limerick, every other week there are reports of someone being injured or killed. i appreciate cab are doing what they can, but maybe they should be given more power, they know who the heads are, give them the power and manpower to go in and take what they have, every last one of them, not just the big guns, but the little fish too. its about time they were put in their place.

    they are flaunting their wealth in front of hard working people, and getting away with it. they have never worked a day in their lives and have hundreds of thousands to show for it, it doesnt take an idiot to see where they get it from.

    I have noticed conflicting reports alright, RTE say was a shotgun, leader says it was pellet gun, as did live 95 fm earlier.

    Only RTE is saying a shotgun
