- Reavey_and_O'Dowd_killings abstract "The Reavey and O'Dowd killings were two co-ordinated gun attacks on 4 January 1976 in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. Volunteers from the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), a loyalist paramilitary group, shot dead five unarmed Irish Catholic civilians. Two members of the Reavey family were shot dead at their home in Whitecross and three members of the O'Dowd family were shot dead at their home in Ballydougan. Another two were wounded and one of them died of brain hemorrhage almost a month later. On 31 December 1975, three Protestant civilians had been killed in an explosion at Central Bar, Gilford. The People's Republican Army claimed responsibility.The Irish News reported that the Reavey and O'Dowd killings were a retaliation for this bombing.The Reavey/O'Dowd shootings were linked to the "Glenanne gang": an alliance of loyalist militants, British soldiers and Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) police officers. Billy McCaughey, a police officer from the RUC Special Patrol Group, admitted taking part and accused another officer of being involved. A colleague of McCaughey, John Weir, claimed two police officers and a British soldier were also involved.On 5 January, gunmen shot dead ten Protestant civilians in the Kingsmill massacre. This was claimed as retaliation for the Reavey and O'Dowd shootings the day before. Kingsmill was the deadliest and last in a string of tit-for-tat killings in the area during the mid-1970s.[citation needed]".
