Jackie Duddy (17)
Paratroopers drove their Saracen Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) into the car park behind Rossville Flats. Alana Burke (18) and Patrick Campbell (53) were run down by two different APCs as they fled across the car park. The Paras then opened fire with 'live' rounds, killing one person and wounding four others.
Jackie Duddy was the first person shot dead on Bloody Sunday. A bullet fired from behind passed through his upper chest from right to left and slightly forward. Four witnesses, including Fr. Edward Daly (later to become Bishop of Derry), all said Duddy was unarmed and that he was running away from soldiers when he was shot in the Rossville Flats carpark. Three of these witnesses said they saw a soldier take deliberate aim at Duddy as he fled.
The four people also shot and wounded in the Rossville Flats carpark were Margaret Deery (aged 37 and the only woman shot Bloody Sunday), Mickey Bridge (25), Michael Bradley (22) and Patrick McDaid (24).
Patrick Doherty (31)
As the shooting intensified a group of people became caught in the area between Rosville Flats and the maisonnettes of Joseph Place. Paddy Doherty was among them and was shot as he tried to crawl away to safety. The bullet entered his right buttock and travelled upwards through his body before exiting from his chest. Photographs show that Doherty was not armed.
Barney McGuigan (41)
Barney McGuigan heard Doherty crying out that he was dying and he walked out to help him, waving a white handkerchief. He took a few steps when he was shot in the back of the head. He died instantly.
Two other people were shot and wounded in this area, Daniel McGowan (37) and Patrick Campbell (53).
Hugh Gilmour (17)
Six men between the ages of 17 and 20 years were shot and killed at or near the rubble barricade which lay across Rossville Street, close to the main entrance to Rossville Flats.
Hugh Gilmour was shot from behind as he ran for safety. A bullet passed through his body and through his left forearm, going from right to left through his chest travelling horizontally and slightly forward. A photograph of Gilmour, taken seconds after he was hit, showed that he was unarmed, a fact confirmed by a number of witnesses. He managed to run for several metres before falling at the side of Rossville Flats where a student nurse tried to treat his wounds.
Kevin McElhinney (17)
Kevin McElhinney was shot from behind, probably by Soldier K, as he was attempting to crawl to safety in the Rossville Flats. The bullet entered his left buttock and travelled up through his body exiting near his shoulder.
Two eyewitnesses, including a Catholic priest, testified that McElhinney was unarmed. He was shot close to the front entrance of Rossville Flats and was dragged inside by some people who were already sheltering there. He died almost immediately.
Michael Kelly (17)
Michael Kelly died from a single shot to his abdomen, probably fired by Soldier F. He had been standing at the barricade. The bullet entered from the front and travelled backward and downward. He died within a few minutes of being shot.
John Young (17)
John Young was killed by a single shot to the head at the rubble barricade. The bullet entered close to his left eye and travelled backward and downward before exiting through his ribs on the left side of his back. Eyewitnesses gave evidence to the Widgery tribunal that Young was unarmed when he was shot.
William Nash (19)
William Nash was killed by a single shot to his chest. The bullet entered his right upper chest from the front and travelled backward and downward exiting from his lower back. He was killed at almost the same time and in the same circumstances as John Young. Eyewitness accounts state that Nash was unarmed and was going to the aid of someone else when he himself was shot.
Michael McDaid (20)
Michael McDaid was killed by a single shot to his face at the rubble barricade in front of Rossville Flats. He probably died immediately. A photograph of McDaid moments before he was shot shows him walking away from the soldiers towards 'Free Derry Corner'.
In addition to those killed at the rubble barricade Alexander 'Alex' Nash (52) was shot and wounded. He had seen the body of his son William lying on the barricade and had run to his side.
Jim Wray (22)
Following the beginning of the intensive shooting on Rossville Street many people sought shelter in the courtyard of Glenfada Park. However, at least four soldiers (Soldiers E, F, G and H) entered the area and began firing on people sheltering there. The paratroopers killed four men in Glenfada Park.
Soldier E fired 3 shots; Soldier F fired 13 shots; Soldier H fired 22 shots; and Soldier G fired 6 shots. Soldier H claimed that he saw a man with a weapon at a window of one of the flats in Glenfada Park and fired and missed. The man reappeared and Soldier H fired and missed again. According to Soldier H this sequence of events was repeated 19 times. Lord Widgery accepted photographic evidence which showed that there were no bullet holes in the window, walls or roof of the house in question.
Jim Wray was shot twice, the first bullet travelled 'superficially' from right to left across his body, the second bullet entered his back and travelled from right to left. Eyewitnesses said Wray was shot and wounded and then was shot dead, from close range, while he lay on the ground. In effect, they alleged he was executed or 'finished off' as he lay wounded on the ground.
Gerald Donaghy (17)
Gerald Donaghy was shot once in the abdomen, probably by Soldier G, but he did not die at the scene. He was trying to run to safety between Glenfada Park and Abbey Park when he was shot. He was eventually taken to the house of Raymond Rogan in the hope of getting medical treatment for his wounds.
In the house his clothes were searched for identification. Donaghy was examined in the house by Dr Kevin Swords who had to open his clothing to carry out the examination. Dr Swords recommended that Gerald be taken to Altnagelvin Hospital. Raymond Rogan and Leo Young (brother of John Young - see above) began the drive to the hospital with Gerald in Rogan's car.
At a military checkpoint in Barrack Street both Rogan and Young were ordered to leave the vehicle and a soldier drove it to the Regimental Aid Post of 1st Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment where Soldier 138, a Medical Officer, pronounced that Gerald Donaghy was dead. Soldier 138 carried out a detailed examination of Donaghy's body shortly after. None of those who were in contact with Donaghy after his shooting, including Soldier 138, noticed anything in his pockets.
However, a police photograph taken shortly soon after showed a nailbomb in one of Donaghy's pockets. The teenager was a member of the Republican youth wing, the 'Fianna'. The Bloody Sunday families have claimed the nailbombs were planted in his pockets in an attempt to justify the shootings in Glenfada Park.
Gerry McKinney (35)
Gerald McKinney had been part of the group of people caught in Glenfada Park who were trying to get to safety towards Westland Street. He decided to make a run for it at the same time as Gerald Donaghy who was just ahead of him. Donaghy was shot and McKinney must have seen the soldier.
Two eyewitnesses stated that McKinney then raised his arms in surrender and shouted: "Don't shoot!, Don't shoot!". The trajectory of the bullet through his chest from left to right is consistent with this evidence. Had McKinney's arms not been raised the bullet would have passed through one or both arms.
Williiam McKinney (26)
William McKinney was shot dead after he left the safety of cover to try to assist Gerald McKinney (no relation) who had been shot moments before. He was shot from behind, as he was bent over Gerald McKinney, and the bullet travelled through his chest from right to left and then through his left wrist.
