A harrowing video shows the moment when the man with a knife who was shot in the Clonee showdown rushed into an ambulance in battle to save his life.

This is the exact moment that Gardai and emergency services are rushing to seek treatment for a man after he was injured and subsequently killed in a West Dublin shooting earlier today.

The footage shows the cutler, who had allegedly threatened Gardai before being shot, being transported on a stretcher in northwest Dublin today.

Neighbors watched in horror as Gardai fired at the gunman, leaving him seriously injured after the sudden knife attack on members of Armed Support United in Clonee shortly after 1pm.

Videos obtained by Dublin Live show the man being taken to the ambulance by emergency personnel while mad screams are heard in the background.

The area is visibly flooded by Gardai and still remains closed while an investigation begins. The man was pronounced dead in the last minutes.

The man with the knife, who is in his early 20s, was shot by officers after approaching them with the gun at a housing estate on Manorfields Drive in Clonee shortly after 1 p.m.

The attacker was locked in a lengthy confrontation with Gardai after attempting to rob a nearby store in the area.

He was chased by uniformed and unarmed Gardai from the Hartstown business premises to the estate before threatening to cut the officers they were pursuing with the knife.

The Garda Armed Support United was later deployed to the scene and is believed to have attempted to arrest the man using a Taser gun and pepper spray, but refused to comply with Gardai.

The man was shot at least three times by officers after arriving at ASU with the knife as well.

A Garda spokeswoman told Dublin Live: “At approximately 12:15 pm, Wednesday December 30, Gardaí responded to reports of a public order incident at a business premises in Hartstown.
