The Guardian Article is : Mark Duggan was shot after raising weapon, firearms officer tells court

A firearms officer has said that
Mark Duggan had been shot after raising a weapon at police, but said he had omitted this fact from the first statement he made about the incident.

A firearms officer has said that Mark Duggan had been shot after raising a weapon at police, but said he had omitted this fact from the first statement he made about the incident.
The shooting of Duggan on 4 August 2011 in Tottenham, north London, triggered riots that spread across the capital and to other cities across the country.
The firearms officer was giving evidence at the trial of the man accused of supplying the gun to Duggan.
The accused, Kevin Hutchinson-Foster, denies handing over the gun just 15 minutes before Duggan was confronted by police and shot.

A jury at Snaresbrook crown court in east London heard the firearms officer, known as W70, give a dramatic and detailed account of the shooting from behind a screen.
W70 told the jury Duggan raised a handgun and was shot, falling to the ground as officers surrounded him after having forced a taxi he was travelling in to stop.

Hutchinson-Foster's barrister, Stuart Denney QC, asked W70 about the fact that his initial "short-form" report of the shooting did not mention Duggan raising a gun. However, this was mentioned in a fuller report made 48 hours later.


Denney asked: "Would it be entirely incorrect to suggest that you left out details such as that until you and your brother officers could check you were all singing from the same hymn sheet?"





The SUN Article is : Duggan's gun supply man guilty



                         Rex Features (2012)


Kevin Hutchinson-Foster, 30, was convicted at  the Old Bailey today of passing the firearm to Duggan following a retrial.
Duggan, 29, collected the BBM Bruni Model 92 handgun just 15 minutes before he was shot dead on August 4, 2011, the court heard.
His death in Tottenham, north London, led to violent riots across the capital and nationwide.
Hutchinson-Foster had denied a charge of "selling or transferring a prohibited firearm" to Mr Duggan between July 28 and August 5, 2011.
But a jury of seven women and five men convicted him by majority verdict after a jury at Snaresbrook Crown Court last year failed to reach a verdict.
Police had put Duggan under surveillance as they "believed he was intent on exacting revenge on another man for the earlier murder of his cousin".
