A man has been arrested after a shooting incident in Limerick yesterday.

Gardaí said a shot was fired in the front garden of a house on Hyde Road at around 6:15pm yesterday.

No one was injured; however, Gardaí said it is understood a number of people were in the garden at the time.

A man in his mid-20s was arrested close to the scene a short time later.

He is being held at Roxboro Road Garda Station.

The scene was preserved overnight to allow Gardaí to carry out a forensic examination.

The investigation is ongoing and Gardaí have appealed for witnesses to contact them.
