A MAN in his twenties is due to appear in court later this morning after shots were fired in Glenties at the weekend.
Two other men, in their 20s and 40s, were arrested in connection with the incident but were later released without charge. In the early hours of Saturday morning Gardaí were called to Mill Road, Glenties following reports of shots fired by a man armed with a rifle. After a brief stand off and further shots were fired the armed man was arrested and taken to Ballyshannon Garda Station and a rifle, a hunting knife and a number of rounds of ammunition were seized.
During a follow up operation a house on Main Street, Glenties was searched by investigating Gardaí. A second firearm was recovered and two men (aged in their 20s and 40s) were arrested as part of the investigation.
The man who was armed during the incident is due to appear before Donegal District Court today.
