The Store Bar shooting was a mass shooting on 25 June 1976 by the Republican Action Force at The Store Bar (which was also known as Walkers Bar) on Lyle Hill Road in Templepatrick, County Antrim.
Attack
The Republican group sprayed the pub with an AR-15 assault rifle killing three people and injuring about a half a dozen. The victims were Ruby Kidd (28), Francis Walker (17) and Joseph McBride (56), all Protestant civilians.[1]
Aftermath
A week after the bar shooting the UVF carried out a gun attack on a Catholic-owned pub, the Ramble Inn, six people were killed in the attack five of them Protestants and just one Catholic which was considered a failure or "own goal" by the UVF. The shooting was carried out because the bar owners where Catholics.[1]
