GOOD EVENING

The 5 at 5 5 minutes, 5 stories, 5 o’clock…

EVERY EVENING, TheJournal.ie brings you the five big news stories you need to know.

1. #MILAN: In Italy, an armed man facing bankruptcy shot dead a judge and lawyer in a court and wounded two other people before fleeing the scene. He was captured by police in a nearby town.

2. #EMERGENCY: A main route out of Dublin city centre was closed for a time earlier today as as gardaí and Dublin Fire Brigade responded to a person on a rooftop. The incident was resolved safely.

3. #GONE: David McGuinness, the two-time failed Fianna Fáil by-election candidate, has quit the party. The Fingal councillor said he was “showing leadership and going solo”.

4. #DÁIL ROW Mary Lou McDonald said she stands over her decision to name six former politicians who were alleged to have offshore Ansbacher bank accounts – in spite of a finding from a Dáil committee that she abused her parliamentary privilege.

5. #THE GREAT BRITISH CAR OFF Sue Perkins has been named as one of the favourites to take over the helm at Top Gear.
