Police in Derry have launched an investigation after a video was circulated on social media a pistol being fired into the air.

The video is captioned “a final salute to our comrade Dennis ‘Sa’ Gallahger”.

It shows two men in balaclavas, one of whom is holding a photograph while the other fires five shots in the air from a pistol.

Denis ‘Sa’ Gallagher, a former Republican prisoner, died on Monday and was laid to rest on Wednesday at Derry’s City Cemetery.

Other videos published on YouTube shows a funeral procession for Mr Gallagher in the City Cemetery, as his coffin is carried by men wearing black berets and jackets emblazoned with ‘Republican ex-POWs & combatants, Doire’.

The video shows a piper leading the funeral procession to a plot at the cemetery, where a tricolour is taken from his coffin and carefully folded and handed off before the coffin is lowered.

The video showing shots being fired, meanwhile, was filmed at night time.

A PSNI spokesperson said: “Police are aware of video footage showing two masked men, one of whom is seen firing a number of shots in the air.

“An investigation is underway.”
