A boy was rushed to hospital after he was the victim of a pellet gun attack in Tallaght this evening.
Gardai and emergency services rushed to the scene of the crime outside the local newsagents on Bawnlea Avenue in Jobstown just after 5pm, as rumours swirled on social media of a more serious incident.
Thankfully, those rumours were wide of the mark, and the victim, believed to be in his mid-teens, only suffered minor facial injuries in the attack.
