A WOMAN in her 20s is receiving hospital treatment for a gunshot wound to the leg after what gardai describe as a drugs related shooting in the Ballybough area of Dublin.
The woman was in a flat in Ballybough Road at around 9 p.m. on Sunday when, gardai say, a man broke in and attacked her. The woman received a gunshot, wound to the leg.
She was taken to the Mater Hospital but is not seriously injured. Gardai say they are following a definite line of inquiry. It is not thought that anti drug elements, which are particularly active in the north inner city, were involved.
