What have residents said?

One man, who lives in a nearby block of flats, said: "I moved into these flats nearly a year ago, and you hear sirens all the time in this area.

"And sadly, it feels normal now, and all we can do is just ignore it.

"I was in my bedroom when I looked out of my window and saw police officers.

"This incident is very worrying since it’s near the school."

Another woman, whose child attends a nearby school, said: "I was coming back from Aldi when I saw police officers and thought to myself, 'Oh god, what’s going on now?'

"I asked one of the officers if they could tell me what was happening, but they said that they couldn’t. 

"They should tell the residents what’s happening.

"Since my kid goes to a school nearby, for his safety I should know what’s going on."

Meanwhile, a father of two who was walking home after picking up his children from school said: "It’s scary and shocking that this is happening in the day.

"I don’t think I’ll be able to send my children out to play on their own after this.

"This is not the first time something like this has happened.

"Police really need to find a way or do something to make us, our children, and other people feel safe."
