The final report into the death of a man shot by police in north London will be released later.
Azelle Rodney, 24, was shot six times in Edgware after the car he was in was stopped by unmarked police in 2005.
Officers said they feared the occupants were armed with a sub-machine gun and were on their way to rob a Colombian drugs gang.
Former High Court judge Sir Christopher Holland will publish his findings following a three-month public inquiry.
Mr Rodney was killed when the VW Golf in which he was travelling was stopped by police after it had been under surveillance for several hours.
"Naked, violent aggression"
The marksman, known only as E7, told the inquiry he opened fire after fearing the gang had a sub-machine gun capable of firing more than 1,000 rounds per minute.
Three guns were found in the Golf - a Colt .45 calibre pistol, a Baikal pistol and a smaller gun that looked like a key fob.
Lawyers for Mr Rodney's mother Susan Alexander claimed he was the victim of "naked, violent aggression" and he was unlawfully killed.
During the inquiry, Sir Christopher considered issues, including what information the police team had, how reliable it was, whether their approach minimised the risk to life, and if stopping the car was done with only the necessary force.
The inquiry. which started on 3 September, is being held into Mr Rodney's death instead of an inquest because of sensitive intelligence information that would have to be withheld from a coroner.
The other two people in the vehicle, Frank Graham and Wesley Lovell, were subsequently jailed for possession of firearms
