Key extracts from the Bloody Sunday inquiry: Soldiers gave no warning

'None of the casualties shot by soldiers ... was armed with a firearm or (with the probable exception of one victim) a bomb of any description. None was posing any threat of causing death or serious injury. In no case was any warning given before soldiers opened fire' 'We have concluded ... that ... many of these soldiers have knowingly put forward false accounts in order to seek to justify their firing' 'In the case of those soldiers who fired in either the knowledge or belief that no one in the areas into which they fired was posing a threat of causing death or serious injury, or not caring ... it is at least possible that they did so in the indefensible belief that all the civilians they fired at were probably either members of the Provisional or Official IRA or were supporters ... and so deserved to be shot notwithstanding that they were not armed'
