A man has been arrested following an armed siege in west Dublin, during which two gardaí were shot and injured. The gardaí, understood to be plain clothes detectives, were in a housing estate in Clonsilla when a man opened fire from his home on Tuesday evening. The suspect peacefully surrendered some time after 9pm following protracted conversations with a negotiator and was taken to Blanchardstown Garda station. Heavily armed gardaí could be seen in laneways and side roads around the house. She urged anyone with any information or footage to contact Blanchardstown Garda station.
