Tottenham Shooting

About 200 people rained missiles and bottles on riot officers near Tottenham. Mounted police and riot officers on foot in turn charged the troublemakers, to push them back. Duggan's death is being investigated by the independent police watchdog. Police officer Keith Blakelock was hacked to death on a rundown housing estate in Tottenham during the rioting in October 1985 when around 500 mainly black youths rampaged through the streets, attacking police, looting and setting fires.



Rioters took advantage of a vigil for a man killed by police and turned violent Saturday night, tossing petrol bombs and "missiles" at officers and looting stores, London's Metropolitan Police said Sunday. At least 42 people were arrested and 26 officers were injured, police said. Police stopped the cab in an attempted arrest, and soon shots were fired, the Independent Police Complaints Commission said. Demonstrators Saturday night burned police cars, a bus and buildings to protest Duggan's death. A British police watchdog group announced plans to meet Sunday with Duggan's family.
