A major manhunt is underway in Dublin, as Gardaí try to track down those responsible for yesterday's fatal shooting in Ballymun.
A toddler who was in the house received minor injuries, while two other people have been hospitalised.
A post mortem is due to be carried out on the bodies of the two victims later.
Gardai are appealing for witnesses.

They are also examining a firearm they recovered, and would not say how many gunmen they believe were involved.
Gardaí are trying to track the movements of two cars they believe were used in the attack - a silver Opel Safira with an 08 Laois reg, and a Volkswagen Golf GTI with an 06 Louth reg.
Juliette Gash reports:
The Justice Minister has condemned yesterday's shooting in Dublin, saying: "I utterly deplore this shooting which has tragically resulted in the loss of two lives as well as others injured.
"These ruthless people have no regard for human life and this will not be tolerated."
Anyone who was in the area is asked to contact Ballymun garda station on 01-666-4400.
