A witness who described seeing two fleeing civilians shot in the back on Bloody Sunday also said two shots hit a wall in front of him as he tried to leave the area.
Mr Frankie Mellon, who was an 18-year-old student nurse at the time, told how he approached the Bogside after the march had entered it. He passed through a cordon of soldiers and walked down Rossville Street where he saw a small crowd advancing to throw stones at the soldiers.
He saw Hugh Gilmore throw a stone and heard the engines of army vehicles revving up behind him. As he began to run, Mr Gilmore was running directly in front of him, about three feet away.
The witness said he heard two high velocity shots and the second one hit Mr Gilmore, who "jumped up with the force, grasped his right side and said 'I've been hit'."
He helped Mr Gilmore around the gable end of the Rossville Flats, where he dropped to the ground. Mr Mellon described finding massive gunshot injuries and using his jumper to try to stop the bleeding from the exit wound. He stayed talking to Mr Gilmore until he died.
During this time, the witness said, there was continuous shooting and he saw Mr Bernard McGuigan facing the soldiers in Rossville Street, shaking a white handkerchief and saying: "Tell them to stop shooting - we're unarmed."
Mr Mellon said that as he left Mr Gilmore's body he saw Mr McGuigan lying on the ground with blood seeping from his head. He saw a man running in Glenfada Park North and a soldier on one knee screaming at the man to stop. "I did not see the soldier shoot the man but I saw a shot hit him in the back. He clutched his stomach. A chunk came out of the wall in front of him."
The inquiry continues today.
