A shooter narrowly missed a young boy and two adults, after firing a number of shots at a house in Co Limerick where the three bystanders were standing outside.
The drive-by gun attack, which was captured on CCTV footage on Hyde Road, Limerick, at 10.30am last Friday, May 22nd, was shared across social media on Tuesday.
Gardaí suspect the attack is connected to an ongoing feud between rival organised crime groups based on the south side of Limerick city.
CCTV footage of the shooting shows a boy and two adults ducking for cover as a number of bullets appear to be fired from a dark-coloured car as it passes the house.

As the three bystanders duck behind a wall, a number of bullets appear to strike the wall and side of the house, leaving dust puffs from the impact of the bullets.
A Garda spokesman said: “Gardaí responded to reports of shots fired outside a residential property in Ballinacurra Weston, Limerick.”
“No injuries were reported. Investigations are ongoing,” added the Garda spokesman.
Gardaí appealed for any witnesses who were in the Hyde Road and the adjoining area between 10am and 10.30am on Friday, May 22nd to come forward, including those who may have dashcam or camera footage.
