English: Friends of the victims and members of the military outside Jervis Street Hospital during the military enquiry into the Bloody Sunday shootings at Croke Park on Sunday, 21 November 1920.
Monday's Irish Independent reported what had happened under the headline Raid on Football Match:
"Terrifying scenes were witnessed yesterday at Croke Park when, during the progress of a challenge football match between teams representing Dublin and Tipperary, military, R.I.C., and auxiliary police made their appearance.
Volleys of rifle fire were heard, and 15,000 spectators fled in a desperate attempt to escape. The casualties total 12 killed, 11 seriously wounded, and 54 others injured.
An official account states the Crown forces went to seek persons concerned in the shootings yesterday morning, and alleges that pickets raised an alarm and fired on the approaching forces, the fire being returned.
There were most painful scenes subsequently when the dead, who include one of the Tipperary players, and wounded were picked up and removed to hospital."
