‘Group took shelter from Bloody Sunday bullets’

A group of people huddled in a stairwell in fear for their lives and praying as gunfire echoed outside on Bloody Sunday, it was claimed today.

The Saville Inquiry heard that one of the five taking shelter commented: ‘‘I don’t think we will get out of here alive’’ after looking out at Army paratroopers who moved into Londonderry’s Bogside on January 30, 1972.
