The Public Inquiry into the death of Anthony Grainger will publish its long awaited report and recommendations at 12:00 pm on Thursday 11th July 2019.
Mr Grainger’s death arose out of a Greater Manchester Police covert investigation named Operation Shire. He was shot dead on 3 March 2012 by an armed police officer as he was sitting in the driver’s seat of his car in a car park in Culcheth. He was unarmed. There were no guns in his car. He was shot at close range by an officer with a semi-automatic rifle.
