UK: Mark Duggan did not shoot at police, says Independent Police Complaints Commission (Guardian, link) Duggan, whose shooting by police sparked London's riots, was killed by a single gunshot wound to the chest. Two bullets were fired by a firearms officer, not three as was originally reported by police. A loaded gun is reported to have been found in Duggan's sock but there is no evidence that the weapon was fired. See also: Met should disclose facts behind Mark Duggan's death (Guardian, link)
