Gardaí are today questioning a 14-year-old boy who was arrested yesterday in connection with a shooting in the St Mary's Park area of Limerick.
The teenager was arrested but released by gardaí just hours before the gun attack after he was stopped driving a car near the troubled estate while wearing a bulletproof vest.
The shooting took place at 6.15am yesterday when a shot was fired at a house on St Munchin's Street. The house was occupied, but nobody was injured.
There was a similar attack on another house in the same estate on Sunday morning. Two teenagers were seen running from the scene of yesterday morning's shootings, and a sawn-off shotgun was found by gardaí nearby.
An 18-year-old youth and the 14-year-old were arrested at 10am. The older youth has been freed.
