Civil War Causing Murder between Brothers

On June Evening, Dublin, Ireland, a Republican sniper killed his own brother without knowing. They were shooting at each other from rooftop to rooftop. One of them getting the final kill. Without realizing what he has done. The sniper's identity wasn't revealed. 

 This event happened when the brothers were on the rooftops looking for Free Staters. Due to confusion one of the brothers start shooting at each other after the position of the sniper was revealed due to him lighting a smoke.

Soon after the Free Staters realized where he was and the begun to fire at him. The sniper was very cautious and slowly picked off the enemies one by one. While in the process of doing this his brother shot him right in the arm causing pain in the forearm. Civilian Michael Adger states that he seen two people going at it from the rooftops. but was afraid due to the sound of death around his area. 

 While in pain the sniper thought of a way to the opposing sniper. He played a trick on the other sniper making it believable that he had died, but once the other sniper took the bait he was killed with a revolver. He was happy that he survived, but once he saw the face of the body his mood changed due to the fact that he realized he murder his own brother.

This event just goes to show what war is causing  in Ireland right now. Many civilians want the war to end, but from the look of it sadly that isn't happening anytime soon. The location of the surviving sniper is unknown, but many believe he's done enough for the war.
