Gardaí appeal for information after fatal shooting in Clondalkin

GARDAÍ are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred at a house at Kilcronan Close, Clondalkin, Dublin 22, at approximately 11.43pm last night.

From initial investigations it appears that a lone male entered the hallway of the house and fired a number of shots, fatally injuring a 37-year-old man. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

The shooter then left the scene and is believed to have ran along Kilcronan Close onto Grand Canal and then exited onto the green area towards Lock View Road. He is described as wearing all black clothing, black runners, black tracksuit and may have been wearing a balaclava. He is also described as being short in height.

A full investigation has commenced and an incident room has been established at Clondalkin Garda Station.

Investigating Gardaí are appealing for witnesses, particularly those who were in the area prior to the incident and immediately after the shooting. Anyone with information can contact Clondalkin Garda Station on 01-6667600, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666111 or any Garda station.
