A detective in the Irish police force has been shot dead in an attempted robbery near Dundalk in County Louth, the Garda Siochana said.
The officer, named as Det Garda Adrian Donohoe, was shot at the Lordship Credit Union in Bellurgan at about 21:30 GMT on Friday.
It is believed Mr Donohoe was one of two detectives on escort duty when an attempted robbery took place.
His colleague has been severely traumatised but is otherwise unhurt.
Police are looking for four men in a dark-coloured Volkswagen Passat.
The area has been sealed off while police attempt to establish the circumstances surrounding the shooting and the Police Service of Northern Ireland has been informed.
Irish President Michael D Higgins said all Irish people "will be truly appalled" by this "dreadful crime".
Ireland's Minister for Justice Alan Shatter said people had respect for those working in the Irish police force.
"They will share my revulsion and horror that a garda (Irish police officer) has so tragically lost his life in the course of his duties."
The Garda Representative Association President John Parker said it was in "deep shock" following the killing.
"This dreadful news is what every police family fears," he said.
"At this time the wider garda family will be doing everything possible to support the late garda's relatives and loved ones, friends and colleagues."
