    Fair enough, not that makes it any better - worse if anything.

    RIP to all involved.

    Was there a media blackout/siege in place or did the shooting occur straight away?

    Such a tradgedy. Gardai walk into work just like any of us. It tough and pointless to to killed while simply doing your job.
    Condolences to all affected by this terrible incident.

    Great service they give to us all. And I'm sure they see some awful sights every day of the week. They're just not all reported on.

    Shocking thing to happen.
    Domestics can be very dangerous as tempers are high.
    That poor Garda just went to help and calm things and lost his life.

    It is believed members of the gardaí were responding to a call in relation to a domestic incident.
    Not definitive.

    RIP - Please be respectful and not mention names. Families probably haven't been notified yet.

    I have to say this is another good example of a media outlet being far too quick to try to be first and possibly wrong.

    As someone from the area, I am outraged that yet again someone jumps in with unfounded assumptions. At least have the decency to wait on details.

    I saw 3 ambulances and 3 squad cars flying out the road earlier. Presumed it was a crash until RTE news reported it.

    Shocking stuff.

    Feel so guilty, celebrating in the pub for the match, when you hear things like this happen.


    RIP to the victims of this awful event. It's stories like this and the fire at the site, that really put things in perspective.

    The husband shot the wife, then the Garda and finally himself. Utterly senseless.
    THREE PEOPLE HAVE died in a shooting incident in Louth this evening.

    One garda was killed in the shooting.

    Two others – a husband and wife – have also died.

    It is believed the man killed his wife before shooting the garda and himself.

    Tragic. RIP to the wife and the Garda.
