Protests in London sparked by killing of Mark Duggan
Mark Duggan, 29, was shot dead by officers during a pre-planned operation to carry out an arrest last Thursday. His death was a trigger for the first night’s rioting in Tottenham on Saturday, which has spread to other areas of the capital, and to other cities.

A man named Mark Duggan, 29, was shot and killed by officers during a pre-planned operation to carry out an arrest last Thursday. His death was a trigger for the first night’s rioting and protesting in Tottenham on Saturday, which has spread to other areas of the capital, and to other cities.
Police announced shortly after the shooting that a non-police handgun was recovered at the scene.
However, The IPCC (Independent Police Complaint Comission) said Duggan was carrying a loaded gun, but it had no evidence that the weapon had been fired.
The ballistics tests were released today found that the police who fired two bullets which were lodged in a police radio was “consistent with being fired from a police gun.”
One theory, not confirmed by the IPCC, is that the bullet became lodged in the radio from a ricochet or after passing through Duggan.
Duggan, 29, was killed last Thursday in Tottenham, north London, after armed officers stopped the minicab in which he was travelling. The IPCC said Duggan was carrying a loaded gun, but it had no evidence that the weapon had been fired. It said tests were continuing. The officer who fired the fatal shots has been removed from firearms duties, which is standard procedure, pending the IPCC investigation.
