A public inquiry has concluded the shooting by police of a young black man in London in 2015 was “lawful” but the operation itself was seriously flawed.

Jermaine Baker, 28, was part of a gang who were planning to “spring” a notorious gangster from a prison van en route to a crown court in north London.
