Local resident Chris Atkins told the Standard the whole area was sealed off by police after the shooting.

He said: "Loads of people came out as the helicopter made such a racket.

"I went down to the corner of Ashdown Crescent and Queens Crescent, from there I could see about four to six police cars on the road itself.

"They were sealing the whole place off, there was lots of police."

Enquiries into the circumstances continue.

Anyone who witnessed the incident can call 101 quoting reference CAD 6524/24.
