Shooting victim Gary Carey’s family has been threatened online by someone linked to a major West Dublin gang.
Sources have also said the 41-year-old is now expected to survive despite suffering catastrophic injuries. He was blasted six times in the underground car park of the Hilton Hotel in Kilmainham, Dublin, last Friday.
But just days after the shooting, the third attempt on Carey’s life in a year, a vile social media threat – aimed at him, his partner and child – was issued by an individual linked to the gang known as “The Family”. Posting a picture of Carey and his family to social media, the individual wrote: “Wot a lovely family….Imagine something was 2 appen em cos u were a rat.”
