Tipperary native shot dead in America

 

 

Police in the U.S are continuing the hunt for the killer of a Tipperary man over the weekend.

Tom Walsh from Templemore was gunned down as he tried to stop a robbery at the restaurant he managed in southern Florida late on Saturday night.

The 43 year old was understood to be alone at the Main Street Grill near Daytona Beach when the robber struck.

The thief made off with just $3,000.

Arrangements are being made to have Tom Walsh's remains flown home to Ireland for his funeral.
