Guard charged with attempted murder

A SECURITY guard attempted to kill two young Irishmen who were on a night out with their wives at a bowling alley, prosecutors in New York have said.

The guard has been charged with two counts of attempted murder and two of assault with a deadly weapon.

Justin Donaghy and Gerard Hourigan, both 29, remain in hospital after being seriously injured in the shooting outside a bowling alley in Queens in New York more than a week ago.
