‘Very scary’ – Shot fired at housing estate in Clare

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses after a gun was fired at a housing estate in Ennis, County Clare.

It happened just after 10pm on Friday evening at Acha Bhile Estate.

A man in his 40s was questioned in connection with the incident.

Clare Deputy Mayor Mary Howard lives in the area and described the news as a frightening development.

“Luckily no one was hurt,” she said.

“It’s very easy for something to go wrong; Especially for someone who has nothing to do with what’s happening – an innocent bystander when a shot goes wrong.

“No one was hurt, but it is very frightening and very frightening.”

Gardaí are particularly keen to speak to anyone with camera footage and are asked to contact Ennis Garda Station on 065 684 8100.
