A little boy whose life has been changed forever

Some weeks ago six-year-old Seán Scully was shot while playing outside his house in Ballyfermot.

The little boy may never regain full mobility. His life has changed forever. Doctors are hopeful that he will be able to take a few steps but that could be five or six years down the line.

The Gardaí believe he was not the intended target.

The horror and pain for that little boy and his family. The anguish.

And the person who did it, what or how do they feel?

What makes a person do such a thing? How can anyone ever pull a trigger?
