Trial Begins for Soldier in 1972 Bloody Sunday Killings

Imagine a peaceful march turned terrible.

In 1972, British soldiers fired on a group of unarmed people in Northern Ireland.

This event is called Bloody Sunday.

Now, over 50 years later, a soldier, known as Soldier F, is on trial.

He's accused of killing some of the people that day.

The case focuses on the shooting of seven civilians as they ran away.

The government apologized for the killings years later, saying they were wrong.

Families of the victims have been fighting for justice for a long time.

The trial is happening now to determine if Soldier F is guilty of the charges.
