Well-known coach Pete Taylor has described being shot in "mid-air" as he dived over a gym bench and attempted to lunge at a gunman who had opened fire at Bray Boxing Club five years ago.

"I thought it was my responsibility to run at him," Mr Taylor told the jury in the Central Criminal Court murder trial of Gerard Cervi on Tuesday afternoon.
