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

    What is the mania on AH to bicker over pedantic wording in the face of tragedy? When you know what you're actually talking about come back an comment.
    This is a domestic tragedy.

    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.

    It's an utter tragedy but you have absolutely nothing to feel guilty for.

    Terrible. A garda just doing his job! I think all members on AGS should be armed. I know alot of people think otherwise but they would be treated with alot more respect if they were armed. With this and the fire that happened in Dublin it's been a sad weekend. Life is so fragile

    Adrian Donohue was armed, it didn't help him.

    What a horrible weekend, between the fire in Carrickmines, the suicide bombings in Ankara and now gun violence in Louth. It is just shocking, the poor Garda out doing his job and walked into that. It is just awful and senseless.
    Condolences and prayers for all the people affected. It was so not necessary.

    Five people shot. A mass shooting by any other standards, domestic or not.

    Awful awful news. Despite all the criticism there's still a lot of respect for guards and the awful situations they have to confront. Thoughts with his poor family and the dead woman's.

    A gun doesn't get you respect. I think most Gardai would prefer to have proper armed support to call on than be armed.

    To be fair, we should probably hold our media to a higher standard than we do anonymous individuals on an internet forum.

    Some reports are saying three Gardai were shot, and the two from the same family.

    On Sky News they say the Gardai is in his 30s and was married with three children, what can one say to something so senseless.

    They also say another man is dead and a woman seriously injured. So hopefully the story of fivr people being shot was just bad reporting elsewhere.

    It was reported that another garda had been shot in the head, but the statement from the guards doesn't mention that. Hopefully confusion in the immediate reporting.

    The Journal (I know) now reporting that the gun man was a 'well known dissident republican'.

    RIP to the Gardai and the other innocent victims.

    Cowardly act.

    Reports on twitter suggesting a crime scene that may be linked to this found in Newry.

    No mention of second Garda casualty, below is the report from the Journal

    THREE PEOPLE HAVE died in a shooting incident in Louth this evening.

    One garda was killed in the shooting, which happened at around 6pm at a house in Omeath, near Carlingford.

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

    It is believed the man, a well-known dissident republican, killed his wife before shooting the garda and himself.

    Gardaí have confirmed that one of the deceased was an on-duty member of the Garda Síochána.

    It's hard when nothing is showing up to suggest 5 were shot =/

    Besides if someone here is saying that's the case then it's hardly too much to ask of them to provide a source
