Bloody Sunday paras chief 'did not hear first army shots'

The officer in command of paratroopers in Derry on Bloody Sunday today said he did not hear any army shooting before he sent his men into the nationalist Bogside area.

Colonel Derek Wilford told the Saville Inquiry in London he was not aware soldiers had already opened fire on civilians, before he sent paratroopers through a crowd control barrier, until days after January 30, 1972.
