‘Thought it was a pretty buzzing piece of reporting’,
‘Probably the highlight of the #itvnews this year’.
Sara was reporting live from the incident where a man was also left with serious injuries and rushed to hospital following the tragedy in the Drummeer Road area of Maguiresbridge in County Fermanagh.
Police were called to the scene as it unfolded – with a top cop describing what his officers encountered as ‘harrowing’.
Three ambulances and an air ambulance were called to the scene at about 8.20am today, where a woman and one of the children were pronounced dead.
An individual was airlifted by air ambulance to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast while another was taken to the South West Acute Hospital in Enniskillen.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said on Wednesday afternoon that one of those taken to hospital – another child – had also since succumbed to their injuries. One of the children was a boy and the other a girl.

Superintendent Robert McGowan, district commander for Fermanagh and Omagh, confirmed that all four individuals had suffered gunshot wounds and were from the same family. Their ages have not been released.
He confirmed that a murder probe was underway, with detectives working ‘at pace’ to establish the full circumstances of the tragedy. A triple-murder and attempted suicide is being pursued as a line of inquiry.
Police earlier said there was no danger posed to the wider public in the aftermath of the incident, which has shocked the rural community just a few miles north of the UK-Ireland border.
‘Tragically, despite best medical efforts, two people were pronounced dead at the scene. Sadly, I can confirm that a third person has, this afternoon, passed away in hospital,’ Supt McGowan said.
‘A fourth person who was taken to hospital remains in a condition described as serious.
‘All four had sustained gunshot wounds, and I can confirm that all four individuals are from the same household.
‘I am keen to, first and foremost, express my sympathy to family members and loved ones who are today left in total shock, and who will inevitably be struggling to come to terms with their unimaginable loss.’
