Sports Briefing | Boxing: Shooting at Dublin Weigh-In

Related Topics: Enda Kenny

Gunmen disguised as police officers opened fire on fans at a boxing weigh-in at a hotel in Dublin, killing one man and wounding two others.

Detectives said it was too early to specify a motive, but Prime Minister Enda Kenny said the attack was believed to be the work of criminal gangs. Suspicion focused on a feud involving the family of Jamie Kavanagh, the boxer headlining Saturday’s fight, which was canceled. Kavanagh was apparently not a target.
