1:30:02
Lomas, come.
1:30:09
Shut the door behind you.
1:30:18
At ease, Private.
1:30:19
Sit down.
1:30:22
I'm W2 Norton.
This is Sergeant Bridge.
1:30:24
We'll be taking your statement.
1:30:26
CSM is here for your benefit.
1:30:28
In your own words
1:30:29
could you please tell me
exactly what happened?
1:30:30
I could see through
the front of the Pig
1:30:33
that there was a, um,
a rubble barricade
1:30:35
somewhere in front,
at the end of Rossville Street
1:30:39
with about thousands
of people behind it
1:30:41
all screaming and shouting.
1:30:43
We, um, stopped and debussed
just outside the barrier.
1:30:47
I went on to the right-hand side
of the road
1:30:50
opposite the, um, Rossville
flats, which was to our left.
1:30:54
As we were going up
the right-hand side
1:30:56
there was, um, some sort
of commotion on the left
1:31:00
where-where we assumed
a contact had taken place.
1:31:03
Then my, uh,
section commander shouted
1:31:05
that there was a sniper
on the barricade
1:31:08
and, um, he-he-he returned fire.
1:31:10
Private Lomas, did you,
at any time, see the target?
1:31:21
I did, um, swing my rifle
1:31:22
to bear around the corner
of the wall
1:31:25
and that's when we saw
1:31:27
what I believed to be
a-a gunman firing...
1:31:30
holding a firearm
towards our direction.
1:31:33
My platoon commander shouted
that he saw 50
1:31:36
possibly more of the rioters
on the barricade
1:31:39
break right towards
the Glenfada Park area
1:31:42
and ordered my section
to go towards that area
1:31:45
and cut them off.
1:31:47
When we, um, entered the park,
there was a lot of confusion.
1:31:52
We saw a lot of people
1:31:54
and, um, l-I didn't witness
the beginning of the firefight.
1:31:59
At what point was the cease-fire
order given, please?
