Gardaí are still searching for clues as to the identities of two men who walked into a packed Dublin pub on Saturday night and shot two people, apparently mistaking them for members of a drug gang.
Two people aged 19 and 20 were wounded in the attack but their injuries were not life-threatening. They were unconnected to the attackers and to any criminal activity.
The attack took place inside Oil Can Harry's on Mount Street Lower, between the Grand Canal and Merrion Square. Among those who witnessed the shooting was a group American tourists, believed to be in the city for the American football inter-college game in Croke Park between Penn State and the University of Central Florida.
It is understood that one of the balaclava-wearing assailants stood guard at the pub door, while the other ran through the popular bar looking for his target. He settled eventually on the two innocent customers, apparently mistaking hem for associates of a Crumlin-based drug gang.
Gardaí said today they were still looking for a dark-coloured vehicle in which the attackers made their escape. The investigation is continuing, said a spokesman.
Staff at the pub declined to discuss the incident further.
