Three men from the same family have been found dead following a horror shooting at a family farm.
Emergency services descended on the farmhouse in Co Cork in Ireland.
The body of a man in his 20s was found in a bedroom of a property at Assolas, Kanturk, in the north-east of the county.
The bodies of another man in his 20s and a man in his 50s were later found on adjoining land.
Garda Superintendent Adrian Gamble confirmed all three were from one family, and all had suffered gunshot wounds, the Irish Mirror reports.
