Bloody Sunday 'was like turkey shoot' - witness

The son of a leading politician who witnessed two of the shootings on Bloody Sunday tried to forgive the British Paratroopers responsible the following day, the Saville Inquiry heard today.

Eamon McAteer also told the hearing in Derry that he accompanied Provisional IRA man Shane Paul O’Doherty on the ill-fated civil rights march in the city three decades ago - and insisted he saw no gunmen or bombers that day.
