The Troubles in Derry mainly in the Bogside compared to the Provisional IRA. One of the Troubles' most notorious events, 'Bloody Sunday', occurred in Derry in 1972. On 30 January, 26 civil rights protesters were shot by members of the 1st Battalion of the British Parachute Regiment. Thirteen died immediately. Many witnesses including bystanders and journalists testify that all those shot were unarmed. Five of those wounded were shot in the back. Most of the circumstances are disputed, and thus it is unclear exactly what happened and why. During the march there was low-level rioting and two civilians were shot and wounded by soldiers.
