The woman who doesn’t wish to be named said:
“I was in Liverpool seeing my dad, when my mum called at around 6pm-she was in tears.“She told me there were police everywhere outside our house, and when she looked out of the window a policewoman shouted at her to stay away from the window and to sit down.“So she sat down and closed the curtains, not having a clue what was going on.“She was panicking because of her grandchildren. And then she saw two hands coming over our gate to try and open it and a police officer appeared with a massive gun in our garden.”

Terrified witnesses in Old Colwyn
My colleague Mari Jones has been in Old Colwyn this morning, speaking to neighbours.
One said:
“My two-year-old son saw him and was hysterical, he was terrified.“She then heard the police shout: “Open the door. Armed officers!”She added: “I really think one of the police officers should have knocked on the door to reassure my mum and the kids, as it’s not normal to see an armed officer in your back garden training the gun at our neighbour’s house.”
