The shooting of civilians by the British Army.

Explanation:

At a peaceful civil rights march in January 1972, 13 civilians were shot dead by British paratroopers. They claimed they had been fired and were acting in self defence. This was supported by the Widgery Inquiry held shortly after. However the Savill Inquiry which reported in 2010 stated that they posed no threat and were entirely innocent. David Cameron offered a full apology in Parliament.
