They had them big metal heavy things and stormed the door and next thing you hear they’re in the house and… shot, shot, shot.”She said she had been left “very upset” by the death of her neighbour, who she said had “mental health issues”. “It was just tragic. It’s just terrible to see,” she said.The man’s identity has not yet been formally confirmed.
