Williamstown man escapes terrifying shooting in hotel

WILLIAMSTOWN man John Glynn may have cheated death by inches last Friday in Dublin’s Regency hotel, which he manages. As he lay on the floor, beside the dying body of murdered David Byrne, he watched in horror as two more bullets zipped past him into the body of the gangland shooting victim.
“When we watched the CCTV afterwards one of the Gardai remarked to me that I had nine lives. The shooting was also beside where two of the receptionists were working and they could also have been hit.
“It was the most shocking experience that I have ever had. While it is back to business as normal in the hotel this week I think I may go back to Williamstown just to unwind in the next week or so,” says John.
