Gardaí are investigating if the injuries were inflicted by a low-velocity weapon.

A man has been rushed to hospital following a suspected shooting in south Dublin.

The victim was found with serious injuries in the Russell Place area of Tallaght shortly after 4pm.

It is believed he suffered wounds to his stomach consistent with being shot and is currently receiving treatment for non life-threatening injuries.

Gardaí are investigating if the injuries were inflicted by a low-velocity weapon.

A large number of gardaí, including members of the Armed Support Unit, responded to the scene which remains sealed-off this evening.
