His initial starting point within loyalism was selling a magazine for a loyalist prisoners association . He progressed to the ranks of the UDA and carried out acts like robberies and punishment beatings . Knight was part of a four-man UDA group sent to conduct an attack in revenge for the Shankill Road bombing . Their target was the Rising Sun bar in Greysteel , where Knight , Stephen Irwin , Jeffrey Deeney and Brian McNeill shot eight dead ( six Catholics and two Protestants ) . After the leading gunman , Irwin shouted " Trick or treat " , he and Deeney raked the bar with gunfire , while Knight , armed with a shotgun , stood at the door . 19 other people were injured . McNeill was the driver of one of the cars used after the shootings . The attack was claimed by the " Ulster Freedom Fighters " , a covername used by the UDA
