The wife of a man who was shot while playing a soccer match in a Tipperary village on Saturday night has given an update on his condition following the freak incident.


The father, aged in his early 30s, was hit in the arm by a stray bullet during a game on the astro turf pitch in Rear Cross shortly after 9pm on Saturday night.
Giving an update on his condition this Sunday morning, the man's wife, who is from County Limerick, said: "He's fine. He's home, thank God."


She said he was very lucky where he got shot in his body.
"He's still in a bit of shock. It's the strangest soccer injury ever I'd say," she said. The injured man and his wife are a popular couple on both sides of the county border in east Limerick and west Tipperary.


Gardai have appealed to people who may have been hunting in the area at the time to come forward.
The adult male player who sustained a gunshot wound to the arm was treated at the scene by emergency services personnel and brought by ambulance to University Hospital Limerick for further assessment.


The scene remains cordoned off and a forensic and technical examination will be carried out this Sunday.
Gardai are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
 


Some fellas tracked down this actor and did an interview with him; he was remarkably good-natured about the whole thing, if I recall.
Yep. The film is samurai cop and it was the lunatic Turkish director who made it so bad, if I recall. They were asked to record scenes with no context (that's why the black fella is just pulling faces in that scene) and 6 months after they "finished" filming, he called them back to re-record scenes, despite the lead cutting his hair. There's a scene in the film where he's fighting and his wig comes off, the actor said he was expecting the director to shout cut ,but he was apparently ok with it.

I used to love the American Ninja series as a kid. Similar acting quality. Awesome stuff.
