On May 21, 40 years ago, citizens began marching to the Jeonnam Provincial Office here. However, more than 50 people were killed by airborne troops aiming at the citizens with their bare hands. Because of this incident, citizens were also armed with guns. At that time, who gave orders to shoot this gun, it has not been revealed. At that time, one of the battalion commanders, who had commanded at the scene, survived, and our reporter went and asked.
The answer is delivered by reporter Jeon Yeon-nam.
<Reporter>
In front of Jeonnam Provincial Office at 1 pm on May 21, 1980.
Airborne troops confronting thousands of Gwangju citizens are shooting indiscriminately.
It is a mass shooting in front of the Jeollanam-do Provincial Office, where the largest number of victims were at that time.
The 61st Battalion of the 11th Airborne Brigade, Ahn Boo-woong, who was at the firing site, blamed the citizens for a hearing 32 years ago.
I visited An, who was in my late 70s.
Although there are official findings that citizens were not armed until the mass release before the eavesdropping, it is still a self-defense force.
[Ahn Boo-woong / Former Commander of the 11th Airborne Brigade: I wouldn't have fired if I hadn't come in. It's because I don't have any war experience. If one shoots, the other shoots if there is a real shot.]
He claims that it was not aiming.
[Ahn Boo-woong / Former Commander of the 11th Airborne Brigade: The rule is to shoot the lower body if you fire. How to shoot only the lower body, but my heart is in a hurry, but there is no X to aim. It's all oriented shooting.]
However, there have already been many testimonies that airborne troops aimed at the citizens.
[Kim Jeong-bok / 21st May, 80, 2nd son's death: When asked where he was shot, he asked (where he was shot). I can't speak because I'm stunned. Indeed ... .] When
asked who the firing commander was, Mr. Ahn responded:
[Ahn Boo-woong / Former Commander of the 11th Airborne Brigade: Commanded to shoot (tapping) by order, you should know. Tell me who ordered the shooter, and it doesn't tell a story. What is a shooter, I don't mean to stop it even if I die.]
To find an order to shoot , I'm looking for a commander of the wiretapping shooter.
