Man believed shooting 'was IRA gunfire'
A man claimed today he heard gunfire in the minutes after Bloody Sunday which he believed was ‘‘the IRA having a go’’.
Robert McLaughlin told the Saville Inquiry he heard low velocity shots ring out as he walked through the grounds of St Columb’s College on January 30 1972 - well away from the scene of the Army shootings that day which left 13 men dead.
