Richard Nyarko, 48, who lives on the eighth floor with a flatmate, said: "I heard a noise - three or four shots, definitely three or four. After about 20 minutes. I came out on to my balcony and saw armed police outside the front entrance." | |
The police had their "guns drawn" and were "all over the place", he said. | |
Bob Mallick, 62, who lives on the fifth floor with his wife and daughter, said he was "shocked and appalled" by the shooting. | |
He added: "This kind of thing never happens here. | |
"We don't run around scared, the place is full of hard-working families. The one thing I don't want anyone to think is that this is in any way is a dysfunctional or troubled... neighbourhood to live in." |
