Three men had to be treat­ed at hos­pi­tal on Mon­day night af­ter they were in­jured dur­ing a shoot­ing in Diego Mar­tin.

The vic­tims, aged 25, 31 and 34 are all from Hard­ing Place, Co­corite.

Re­ports in­di­cate the men had been stand­ing in the vicin­i­ty of the car wash around 8:45 pm, when they were re­port­ed­ly ap­proached by two masked men who an­nounced a rob­bery.

As the vic­tims re­port­ed­ly turned to run, the sus­pects al­leged­ly be­gan shoot­ing at them.

One of the vic­tims was shot in the right low­er leg, while a sec­ond was shot in the rear left thigh, and the third, in the low­er left leg.

A pass­er-by took one of the vic­tims to the St James In­fir­mary, while the oth­er two were tak­en there by of­fi­cers from the West­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force who re­spond­ed to the shoot­ing.

A to­tal of 16 spent 9 mm shell cas­ings were re­cov­ered at the scene.
