    Gardaí in Limerick are investigating an incident at a bar in the city last night during which a gunman was tackled by a number of customers.

    A man in his 30s is in garda custody at the Mid Western Regional Hospital, where he is being treated for injuries he received during the altercation.

    The drama began at around 8.30pm, when a man entered Quilty's pub in Thomondgate brandishing a loaded sawn-off shotgun.

    He pointed the gun at customers as he moved through the bar in search of his intended target.

    However, he was overpowered by a number of customers in the bar, who managed to disarm him.

    Gardaí recovered the loaded shotgun at the scene and arrested a man before taking him to the Mid Western Regional Hospital for treatment.

    He got bottled and glassed by two women then the door was locked and the boys finished him off. Two ambulances came one to take him away and one for someone treated for shock. He was so bad he was taken to hospital released to the guards and then taken back later by the guards because they got worried about his injuries.
