Updated: 8.30am
TWO MEN ARE due in court this morning charged in relation to an incident in which a shotgun was fired after gardaí gave chase to three men in a car.
At around 9.30pm on Monday, gardaí spotted a black Audi estate with a partial 151 G registration driving at speed through Monasterevin towards the Kildare Road.
Gardaí followed the car to a location known locally as Ashgrove, and the car then stopped on the road at Larch Hill.
A male passenger in the front seat got out with what is believed to be a shotgun in his hand and fired once. No one was injured in the incident.
Armed garda units were made aware of what was going on and, at 10.30pm, a silver Hyundai was pulled over at Pollardstown in Newbridge.
