A man has been killed in a shooting at a boxing match weigh-in in the Republic of Ireland.
Two other men were injured in the incident at Dublin's Regency Hotel at about 14:30 local time on Friday.
It is understood the gunmen were dressed as police officers and armed with AK47 guns.
The event was ahead of Saturday's Clash of the Clans, featuring a WBO European lightweight title fight between Jamie Kavanagh and Antonio Joao Bento.
The pay-per-view channel Box Nation was due to broadcast the event from Dublin's National Stadium but has said it has now been cancelled.
The injured men, in their 20s or 30s, have "possible gunshot wounds", police said, and have been taken to hospitals in Dublin.
The hotel has been sealed off and a forensic examination of the area is expected to take place.
