Man Shot By Police 'Did Not Open Fire'

The victim of a police shooting did not fire at officers before he was killed, according to a report by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
An IPCC ballistics report said there was "no evidence" that a handgun found near where Mark Duggan was shot by armed officers had been used.
Mr Duggan had been a passenger in a silver Toyota Estima minicab in Ferry Lane, close to Tottenham Hale Tube station, which was believed to have been stopped by police.
His death came after two shots were fired by a Scotland Yard CO19 firearms officer, investigations show.
The initial results confirmed reports that a bullet found lodged in a police radio at the scene was police issue.
Forensic officers told the IPCC that it may not be possible to "say for certain" whether the handgun found near Mr Duggan was fired.
But an IPCC statement said: "At this stage there is no evidence that the handgun found at the scene was fired during the incident."
Can anyone clear this up for me please?

So, they found a
police issue bullet lodged in the radio, correct?
They also found a handgun near Duggan, so that was proved to be Duggan's?
Did Duggan pull out his gun and aim it at the police?
And finally, Duggan was a passenger in a cab which was pulled over by the police.
Was he a suspected of something?
Why was the cab pulled over?
These are just a few questions that I would have asked before I started talking about whether or not the police were justified in shooting a man to death.
Just sayin'.....
