Gardaí in Co Cork are investigating a series of apparent shootings in which the windows of cars, houses and a hotel were damaged yesterday.
Reports of the 'sniper' shooting incidents have just emerged today. There were no reported injuries.
A Garda spokesman confirmed a number of shots had been fired from a car "by a person unknown" in the Kinsale and Togher areas between 1pm and around 2.45pm yesterday afternoon.
Windows were damaged at the Trident Hotel in Kinsale.
Later, two windows were damaged when shots were fired at a school bus in Inishannon. It is not clear whether anyone was on the bus at the time, the Garda spokesman said.
Damage was also done to a house in the same area. And later, a four-wheel drive vehicle parked on the main Kinsale to Bandon road was found with its windows damaged, apparently by a firearm.
"The scenes were all technically examined and the matters are being investigated," the Garda spokesman said.
He said anyone who witnessed any of the incidents should report them to the Garda at Bandon or Kinsale.
