The United States military is investigating the shooting dead of an Irish-born soldier in Afghanistan late last week.
Ciara Durkin (29) from Quincy, Massachusetts, originally from Connemara, was reported as killed in action on September 27th in Afghanistan.
She was a member of the Massachusetts Army National Guard, and had been serving in Afghanistan for almost a year.
Ciara left Ireland with her parents, Tommy and Angela, when she was nine years old, but returned for a time to attend secondary school in Carraroe.
