flag Coroner rules British soldiers used unreasonable force in 1972 Belfast shooting of five civilians.

flag A coroner has ruled that two British Army soldiers "lost control" during the 1972 shootings of five unarmed civilians in Belfast, including a priest, a father of six, and three teenagers. flag The coroner found the soldiers used unreasonable force, firing without warning or assessing threats, and rejected the army's claims of a coordinated attack. flag The inquest, the last before a 2024 deadline, concluded that the victims posed no danger, with families and political figures celebrating the ruling.
