Nope. The armed officers were only there because someone reported "an irishman with a gun", and the call-out was treated as irish terrorism related. More importantly, he was shot from the left and behind which contradicted the police claims that he had stood in a "boxer's stance" and pointed the leg at them as if it were a gun- the ballistics reports showed that was impossible, and that he was almost certainly shot while turning to face them.
