A man who claims he saw six people shot on Bloody Sunday from the
window of his home, today said it was "almost like watching a movie".
Mr Martin Tucker, who was 17 at the time, told the Saville Inquiry he witnessed two of the 13 deaths that day and saw four people wounded during the gunfire in Derry's Bogside 29 years ago.
He told the Inquiry how he was at home in the Rossville Flats when he saw Mr Jack Duddy (17) shot dead in the car park below him, and said he flew into a rage as the youth was carried away, with the then Fr Edward Daly waving a white handkerchief.
He said he could remember shouting and swearing at the soldiers from the window and being really angry.
Mr Tucker said he also witnessed Mr Michael Bridge and Mr Michael Bradley shot in the same area and a soldier "pumping" six bullets into a parked car.
"I thought it was just bizarre. I did not know why they were firing into the car, there was no-one in it. There was nothing special about the car."
He then moved to the other side of the flat and saw two men, Mr Daniel McGowan and Mr Patrick Campbell, wounded as they ran empty-handed from the direction of the troops.
"It was so strange. It was almost like watching a movie. They managed to get to safety," he said.
Mr Tucker then said Mr Patrick Doherty was shot dead in the same area as he crawled in the same direction towards an alleyway.
"His right leg jerked out. It looked like a spasm. I assumed he was shot in his right hand side because it was his right leg that jerked. I could not see any blood but I knew immediately that he was dead.
"A couple of people in the alleyway tried crawling out to help him. I think they tried two or three times and called out to him but had to give up because the shooting continued.
"They were obviously very distressed because they had to give up and watch someone dying in front of them."
