What Happened to Mark Duggan, The Man Who Sparked the London Riots?

By LEE FERRAN and MIGUEL MARQUEZ, http://abcnews.go.com / Aug.9, 2011. On the night of Thursday, Aug.4, a 29-year-old father of four with reported links to London gangs was shot and killed by officers in London's Scotland Yard.Five days later, more than 500 people have been arrested, at least 111 police officers have been injured, one person has died and several buildings have been completely engulfed in flames in one of the largest riots in England's modern history.
The riot is believed to have grown out of a peaceful vigil in the London neighborhood of Tottenham for the death of Mark Duggan that quickly spiraled out of control.London's Metropolitan Police declined to answer questions posed by ABC News about what exactly occurred the night Duggan was gunned down, but an investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission revealed today that when Duggan was killed, he likely had never fired on police.
Based on the IPCC account, two shots were fired by a single officer.Later, after Duggan was pronounced dead at the scene, the IPCC said a post-mortem examination revealed he had been shot in the right arm but was felled by a single shot to the chest.A non-official handgun was recovered from the scene, but it did not appear that gun had been fired, the IPCC said.
