"Revealed: man whose shooting triggered riots was not armed"
Investigations were started after complaints from the Met police and IPCC who argued just because Duggan wasn't found with arms when shot dead, did not mean he had not been armed. The Guardian had however reported in the main article a firearm had been found 10-14 feet away from Duggan's body.
The story was immediately picked up and covered here on this blog.
Read the Guardian's editor's version of what is somewhat a half apology here
Having old wounds licked to pacify others? Personally I am confused over this latest finding because Duggan was shot dead unarmed. So how was the headline misleading...?
He didn't have a gun on him. A gun was found nearby and "no forensic evidence" had been found to say he was carrying one when shot.
