Media Statement
Reports from the scene indicate the children were on their way to school when the shooting occurred. It is alleged that two gunmen in a vehicle disembarked in Donnegal Street and fired shots. As a consequence the 14-year-old was killed and others aged 15 and 17 were injured. They were transported to a medical facility for treatment. Murder and attempted murder dockets have been opened. A manhunt has since been launched for the perpetrators of the act. Meanwhile a few metres from the scene where the children were shot at, a 55-year-old man was also shot and injured. He is currently in a medical facility receiving treatment. The area has been bolstered with additional deployments in an effort to stabilise the precinct. The motive for the shooting forms part of ongoing investigations. Part of the investigations undertaken is to determine if the two incidents are related. Ends
