My dad was shot dead on Bloody Sunday
In January 1972, 13 people were shot dead by the British Army during a civil rights march in Northern Ireland. Tony Doherty鈥檚 father Patrick was among those killed. Vowing to take revenge, Doherty later joined the Irish Republican Army, IRA, fighting British rule, and was jailed for planting a bomb.
