Saville: Soldier fired on priest running to victim’s aid

The former Bishop of Derry was fired at by a soldier as he ran to the aid of a fatally wounded teenager on Bloody Sunday, the Saville Inquiry has heard.

Sean Collins told the inquiry that Fr Edward Daly (later to become the city’s Catholic Bishop) came under fire while waving a white hanky as he went to help 17-year-old Jackie Duddy, the youngest of the 13 civilians shot dead in Derry’s Bogside on January 1972.
