People thought they were fireworks
Residents have been left in shock following a shooting on Christmas Eve. A number of people have been left with injuries but a young woman who was shot has died.
A neighbour who heard shots said she assumed they were celebratory Christmas fireworks. Jenny Hough, 77, said: “I heard the shots… I thought it was a firework actually, because it was nearly midnight. I just thought it was people celebrating midnight on Christmas Day.” Ms Hough said she had heard the pub had been “so crowded” that evening. A spokesman for the Lighthouse pub said the shooting was “a tragedy beyond any words”. In a statement, they said: “All our thoughts are with the friends and family of our customers and in particular our hearts go out to the family of our customer who has lost her life.”
He said trying to find words of hope in “such a terrible situation” is challenging and acknowledged that the Christmas morning service would now not be “as much a celebration as it was going to be”.
