Mark Duggan inquest: Family fury at lawful killing decision



Mark Duggan's aunt Carole, speaking outside court: "He was executed"
Mark Duggan's family have said they will fight for justice after an inquest jury concluded by a majority of 8 to 2 that he was lawfully killed by police.
Mr Duggan was shot dead by armed officers in August 2011 in Tottenham, sparking riots across England.
Following the inquest at the Royal Courts of Justice, his aunt Carole Duggan said he had been "executed".
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe has asked for a meeting with local community leaders.
There were angry scenes outside the court, with supporters of Mr Duggan's family chanting "murderers" at Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley as he read a statement.
