Limerick Gardaí fire shots as child escapes from stolen car
Gardaí have opened fire on a stolen car in Limerick after it was taken from a shopping centre with a child inside it.
The vehicle was stolen from a car park in Cratloe at around 9.15am this morning.
Two children managed to get out, but a three-year-old boy remained inside until the driver stopped a short time later and let the child out of the car near Moyross.
Gardaí later apprehended the driver and ordered him out of the car.
It is alleged that the driver then drove at gardaí when they shot at him.
It is reported the man was wearing a bullet-proof vest.
The man has been arrested and the Garda Ombudsman is investigating the incident.
