Murder Probe Launched After Dublin Pub Shooting
A three-man gang is being hunted after a weekend shooting left one man dead and another injured.
Two masked raiders armed with handguns burst into a busy north Dublin pub on Saturday night and fired on mourners at a post-funeral event.
Gardai said they singled out their victims upstairs in the Jolly Toper bar, Finglas, before shooting them several times.
Detectives believe the attackers fled the scene in a dark coloured car driven by a third man who had been waiting on Church Street before making off towards the Finglas Road.
Superintendent John Harnett, Finglas Garda Station, said a car found nearby is undergoing a technical examination.
The two injured men were rushed to the Mater Hospital where a man, who was in his late 30s, died a short time later.
The second man, aged 33, is in a stable condition after emergency surgery at the hospital.
A post mortem examination is due to be carried out at Dublin City Morgue.
Gardai said one attacker was just over 6ft while the other was just under 6ft.
Both men were slim and wearing dark clothing.
Supt Harnett refused to say whether the shooting was linked to drug crime or if the dead man had previous criminal convictions but it is understood the attack was linked to a local gangland dispute.
Gardai have received information from people in the pub at the time, he added.
