Six Shooter is a 2004 short film written and directed by Martin McDonagh and starring Brendan Gleeson and Rúaidhrí Conroy.

He brings Donnelly to her bedside and then excuses himself, as the hospital is unusually busy: there have recently been two cot deaths, as well as a woman whose son "shot the poor head off her."

Donnelly spends a few moments unsure of what to say to his wife and gives her a photo of David, their pet rabbit, before leaving.

On the train ride home, Donnelly sits opposite a foul-mouthed, chain-smoking young man.

Moments later, something thumps against the window, so the kid follows the wife and discovers the torn picture of the baby on the floor next to an open exterior door.

The husband takes this as a sick joke, but Donnelly notices blood on the window and pulls the emergency stop.

Noticing armed policemen everywhere, he realises the kid is responsible for the matricide the doctor mentioned.

He is mortally wounded by the return fire, and Donnelly crawls over to him in time to hear his last words, which are regrets that he did not even hit one policeman.
