Two articles on an incident many had forgotten, it occurred just after Internment was introduced and in summary:

More than 40 years after the shootings in a west Belfast neighbourhood, the Guardian has reconstructed the events surrounding what appears to be a killing spree by soldiers of the Parachute Regiment, just months before Bloody Sunday

This is a 'long read', not too long and in places admits the Army were fired upon - before the disorder and the "killing spree":https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/jun/26/-sp-ballymurphy-shootings-36-hours-west-belfast-northern-ireland-10-dead

The second is based on a new film on the incident by Callum Macrae, a film maker with many awards:https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...-belfast-derry
