A feud between two of Dublin's major criminal families has descended into deadly violence, with both sides taking to the city's streets to settle scores.Last Friday, a six-strong armed gang rushed a boxing weigh-in at Dublin's Regency Hotel. Wearing Gardai-style rapid response uniforms and armed with two AK-47 rifles, the masked gunmen opened fire on the auditorium, before quickly disappearing into the city. One of their alleged targets, 34-year-old David Byrne (no relation to the David Byrne of Talking Heads fame), was dead, and two others were wounded.Picture moments before Dublin Weigh in shooting.
