Newspaper Report: The Sniper

Has survival in Dublin become impossible?


Three citizens killed due to civil war.
June 21st, 1920

DUBLIN- Last night, the city of Dublin was rocked by gun fire which left three people dead. The perpetrator was a Republican sniper. In exchange for his information, our newspaper has promised him anonymity.

 While keeping watch on a building near the O'Connell Bridge and smoking a cigarette, the Sniper was noticed by civilian McGuire, age 62. When she proceeded to inform our Lieutenant Shame McAvella about this Sniper, he immediately shot and killed both of them.

Nearby was a Sniper from our forces. This man then shot and wounded the Republican Sniper. In the exchange of gun fire that followed, the Republican Sniper killed our Sniper. When checking for his enemy's identity. He discovered that the fallen Sniper was , in fact, his own brother. His sole comment has been a repeated lament: "I didn't even know my brother was in the war."

In response to these events Colonel Michael Williams has doubled the presence of armed forces on the streets of Dublin. "We must do all we can to prevent further tragedies," he explained.
