An independent police body reported Tuesday that there was "no evidence" that the man who was fatally shot in Tottenham during a police stop Thursday had opened fire at officers.
The shooting death of 29-year-old Mark Duggan, a black man, has sparked riots that started Saturday in Tottenham -- an ethnically diverse, working-class suburb north of London's center -- and have spread to other parts of Britain.
Officers from Operation Trident -- the Metropolitan Police unit that deals with gun crime in London's black communities -- stopped the cab in the predominantly Afro-Caribbean neighborhood during an attempted arrest and soon afterward shots were fired, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said. Duggan, a father of four, was killed. Shooting deaths are rare in England.
