New Lodge Six 50th Anniversary documentary, shown on the high rise block of flats in the New Lodge, Belfast tonight. On the night and early morning of the 3rd and 4th of February 1973, six men were shot dead in the New Lodge area of north Belfast and one man gravely wounded. Two of these men - Jim Sloan and Jim McCann - were killed in a ‘drive-by’ shooting at the top of the New Lodge Road at around 11pm. Within minutes of this British forces opened fire on the junction of New Lodge Road and Edlingham Street from both the direction of Duncairn Gardens and from the British military observation posts on top of the flats in the New Lodge Road. Tony ‘TC’ Campbell, Brendan ‘Fat’ Maguire, John Loughran and Ambrose Hardy were killed in these attacks with Charlie Carson severely wounded. At the time, the British Army stated that six gunmen had been killed and one wounded in a “gun battle” with their troops in the New Lodge area of North Belfast. Witness statements from the local community and the families of the six men directly contradict this account of events. Eyewitnesses maintain that all of these men were unarmed and were attacked without provocation. Indeed, eyewitnesses maintain that all of the six men killed were either out socialising on a Saturday night or assisting the injured. These shootings were never properly investigated. There has never been a full accounting of this atrocity. Greater New Lodge Commemoration Committee
