Video footage and pictures show an abandoned taxi on Drogheda's Bridge of Peace following a shooting this evening.
A taxi driver in his late 30s was injured when shots were fired at his car at around 6.20pm.
Gardai rushed to the scene and the man was taken to hospital, where his injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
The bridge was sealed off to traffic and local diversions put in place following the incident.
