Paul Lanham has lived on Coulter Street, adjoining New World Avenue, for six years, and said he had never seen anything like it.
“There was a very quick succession of gunshots, probably seven or eight,”he said.
“Then a huge explosion. I was sitting in my living room and I thought my windows were going to smash.
“I could hear this woman wailing, and I though for sure they would be finding a body in there.”
Language warning for video:
Mr Lanham said he was home on Friday afternoon when the police “and what looked like a military procession” arrived on his street.
Despite the scene, he said he never felt unsafe and praised the police and Special Operations Group for their efforts.
“They did such a great job. I think they had control of the situation the whole time.”
