I was there outside. Heard three shots and a crowd started running out. Was terrifying, had to hide in the abra toilets after
> the Explosive Ordnance Disposal team are en route to investigate concerns gardaí have.
jesus wtf happened there
My mum was only shopping there yesterday, this feels surreal for something like that to happen here. Just seen the WhatsApp messages floating around.
Holy shit, what would possess someone to do that.
Ordinance disposal at the scene?
Holy fuck!
We need some sort of alert system. It took well over an hour for the media to start reporting on this and they waited til after it was all over. Perhaps that was a deliberate decision to avoid people gawking at Garda activity but it’s a bank holiday Sunday, people will be visiting the supermarket and people need forewarning.
As a Carlovian, I do feel a little let down. I only know because I know people who had to flee the fairgreen today, and I only went online because I knew what was unfolding.
I was there with my wife and baby about an hour before this and I am shook as fuck.
We have a serious scumbag problem in this country.
Seeing the video from the barbers it sounded like a shotgun…
RTE news have said Gardaí have identified the shooter as a white Irish male, wont be named untlil family are notified. They also clarified the child injured was a girl and was treated at the scene.
Carlow was the one place in the country where you could be guaranteed nothing was ever happening…
