An unidentified Free Stater found dead on sidewalk Sunday
morning. 

DUBLIN- Statement released today that the Free Staters sniper was shot and killed by his ownbrother, a Republican sniper near River Liffey late last night.

                     

“I heard a shot and looked out my window to see an ascetic young boy above a lifeless body sobbing”, says a local. The whereabouts of the Republican sniper described as killing his brother are currently unknown.

Investigator Conner O’Malley reported two additional bodies on the crime scene. “One woman in a tattered shawl” who remains unidentified, “and a man named Berit Flannigan were also pronounced dead on the scene”. The findings in Free Stater Berit Flannigan’s “monstrous” gray vehicle (which was left on the scene) indicated that he was a Free Stater. The bullets found in all three dead bodies on the scene were from the same, Republican sniper.

Other investigators on the scene revealed shocking information after investigating the surrounding rooftops. An identification badge left behind on the rooftop of the building opposite to dead bodies proved the sniper responsible for the three deaths to be in fact, the brother of one of the dead victims. 

This news appalled many. It is evident the situation between the brothers, who cannot be named at the time, was accidental as The Republican sniper was witnessed with tears and a face of regret. This is the most bizarre incident in the past three years of this war. When will all brothers stop killing each other.
