'Bloody Sunday bullets narrowly missed MP'

Bullets fired from Derry’s historic walls narrowly missed then MP Bernadette Devlin as she started to speak to civil rights supporters on Bloody Sunday, it was claimed today.

Witnesses Dominic O’Donnell and his sister Grainne Lynch told the Saville Inquiry the first shots rang out as the Mid Ulster MP was on a platform in front of Free Derry Corner in the city’s Bogside district that day in 1972.
