The Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit has completed its examination of the scene in Fairgreen Shopping Centre and have declared the area as safe.
Gardaí in Carlow continue to investigate all circumstances surrounding the discharge of a firearm and the death of a man in his 20s following an incident at Fairgreen Shopping Centre, Carlow, on Sunday, 1st June 2025.
Gardaí have confirmed that the man was in his 20s, and died at the scene due to the discharge of a firearm on Sunday June 1.
Investigations are ongoing.
The scene remains cordoned off while both the Garda Technical Bureau and the Office of the State Pathologist conduct examinations. An update will be issued when cars parked within the cordon can be retrieved.
An incident room has been established at Carlow Garda Station, with a Senior Investigating Officer (SIO) appointed to lead the investigation. A Family Liaison Officer is providing support to the deceased’s family at this time.
Investigating Gardaí once again urge anyone who may have recorded footage of the incident not to share it on social media platforms or messaging apps, but instead to provide it directly to the investing team.
