A man in his 30s has been arrested as part of an investigation into an attempted shooting in a sports gym in Tullamore nearly four years ago.
The incident at the Tullamore gym took place on May 30th, 2013, when a man dressed in military clothing and a balaclava entered the gym.
Once inside he tried to fire a number of shots at another man but fled the scene when the gun failed to discharge.
The man escaped in a car that was later found burnt out at a nearby cemetery. No one was injured during the incident.
