Family hope to repatriate man shot dead in US

The family of an Irishman shot dead in the US at the weekend say they are hoping to bring his body back to his native town for burial.

Tom Walsh, 43, originally from Templemore in Co Tipperary, was shot at point-blank range at the restaurant he helped to manage in Florida late on Saturday night. Police are searching for his killer.

His brother, Brian Walsh, said the family was concentrating on bringing Tom’s remains home to Ireland for burial.
