It is unclear what led to the killing. However, according to reports, McNally's boyfriend, with whom she had been living for a few months, stormed into the pub, stabbed her, and then attempted to flee the dive bar, whose name in Gaelic means "social gathering."

Another customer, a woman, observed the confusion and remarked, "She was just standing there talking." "Her boyfriend came in ... and he just walked right in and stabbed her. Then he started trying to stab himself. Horrible. Just horrible!"

The suspect was bleeding from self-inflicted knife wounds and had a blade in each hand when the police arrived.

According to reports, the man was bleeding from self-inflicted wounds and had a knife in each hand when police arrived. When he refused to comply, officers tasered him and ordered him to put down his weapons.

Sarah McNally's Death

The Longford, Ireland native McNally had supposedly been living with her partner and had no previous domestic violence history.

Landlord Mike Lambe, 62, said McNally was a "sweet, innocent girl from Longford," a county located in the center of the Emerald Isle. Lambe has lived two blocks away from the tavern for the past 20 years.

An emotional Facebook message mourning McNally's death was posted by her relative, Mark McNally, "Rest in peace my beautiful niece Sarah, we are heart broken, love you always."

Cllr Martin Monahan, the cathaoirleach of Longford Municipal District, said to the Irish Independent: "The people of Longford were saddened and shocked by the sudden demise of a young life, someone who has made a life for herself in New York."

According to a spokesman for the New York Police Department, the inquiry is still in progress.
