Bloody Sunday-sometimes called the Bogside Massacre was an incident on 30 January 1972 in the Bogside area of Derry, in Northern Ireland. Twenty-seven civil rights protesters were shot by the British ArmyParachute Regiment during a Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association march. Thirteen men, seven of whom were teenagers, died immediately, while the death of another man 4½ months later has been attributed to the injuries he received on the day. Two protesters were injured when they were run down by army vehicles.Many witnesses, including bystanders and journalists, testify that all those shot were unarmed. Five of those wounded were shot in the back.
