At a weight in in Ireland
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O5rDDvVJwU
One man is dead and two others are in hospital after a gang of armed men opened fire at a boxing match weigh-in at a Dublin hotel this afternoon.
Witnesses said three gunmen, at least one of whom was armed with what gardaí believe was an AK47 assault rifle, entered the Regency Hotel at around 2.30pm.
They were wearing what some witnesses described as partial mock-up Garda uniforms, including a Garda tabard or vest.
The Irish Times understands there were uniformed gardai and armed detectives not far from the scene of the weigh-in, which was regarded as a security risk because a number of gangland criminals were expected to be in attendance.
Some members of the media had gathered outside the weigh-in. They witnessed part of the attack.
The three armed men started shooting at a group of people attending a weigh-in ahead of a planned boxing event on Saturday.
Gardaí believe the gunmen specifically targeted this group and that the three men who were wounded were among the party present for the weigh-in.
One of the three men wounded at the scene later died from his injuries. The two others who were wounded but survived have been taken to the Mater and Beaumont hospitals.
