Dublin shooting

On 26 September 2026, An Garda Síochána initiated a major investigation following a fatal shooting incident in the Coolock area of North Dublin. Emergency services were alerted to the scene late Friday evening after reports of multiple gunshots being fired in a residential estate. Upon arrival, officers discovered a man in his thirties with multiple gunshot wounds; despite the immediate efforts of paramedics to provide life-saving treatment, the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The area was promptly cordoned off for a technical examination by the Garda Technical Bureau, and the State Pathologist was notified to conduct a post-mortem examination. Preliminary investigations suggest the attack was targeted and linked to ongoing localized criminal disputes. Gardaí have issued an urgent appeal for witnesses, specifically requesting dashcam or doorbell camera footage from residents in the vicinity between 9:00 PM and 10:30 PM on the night of the incident. No arrests have been made as of 28 September 2026, and a senior investigating officer has been appointed to lead the inquiry.
