The City Hall and the other occupied buildings soon came under intense rifle and machine gun fire. In the course of the afternoon Connolly was shot and killed by a sniper on the Bedford Tower in Dublin Castle. City Hall and the associated positions were assaulted by superior numbers later that evening. Following a number of casualties the forces surrendered that night.(Submitted on July 3, 2026, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)
