context_page_description: The Store Bar shooting was a mass shooting that occurred on the 25 June 1976 in the late evening when an armed group of men calling themselves the Republican Action Force walked into The Store Bar on Lyle Hill Road in Templepatrick, County Antrim.
  The Republican group said some words before spraying the pub with an AR-15 assault rifle killing three people and injuring about a half a dozen. It was reported the gunmen left a bomb at the front of the pub but it failed to go off.
  The three dead civilians Ruby Kidd, Francis Walker and Joseph McBride, were all Protestant civilians just like in other attacks claimed by the South Armagh Republican Action Force and Republican Action Force, like the Kingsmill massacre in January 1976 when 10 Protestant workers were gunned down, and the Tullyvallen massacre in which 5 civilians died and 7 badly wounded.
