Popular culture
28 April, 2012

The BBC has obtained footage of the aftermath of the police shooting of Mark Duggan, whose death in north London sparked the 2011 summer riots.

Mark Duggan was killed during a pre-planned operation involving officers from the Metropolitan Police’s Trident gun crime unit in Tottenham, north London, on 4 August.




The footage, by someone who says they witnessed the shooting, includes attempts to save Mr Duggan’s life following the incident.

On the tape, the witness recounts that Mr Duggan jumped out of a car and police twice shouted: “Put it down.”

The witness who provided the footage to the BBC has asked to remain anonymous.
