Two men were shot dead by gunmen at Cornwall Hertford in Whithorn, Westmoreland, on Thursday night.
They have been identified as 22-year-old Emron Hanson and 38-year-old Bryan Tullo, both residents of the community.
It was reported that around 8:30 pm, Hanson was sitting at the front of a yard awaiting his girlfriend while Tullo was in a room to the back of the house.
While there, residents heard several loud explosions and later realised that both men were suffering from what appeared to be gunshot wounds.
The residents summoned the police and assisted the men to the hospital, where they were pronounced dead on arrival. The police later found several spent casings while processing the scene.
No motive has yet been established for the killing.
