TWO LOUD BANGS
Pub Landlady Michelle Thomas had been preparing the Valentine’s dinner when she heard two loud bangs she initially thought were fireworks.
Michelle said there was “screaming, shouting, crying” and that the whole community was in shock.
She told Sky News: “There was so much commotion — screaming, shouting, crying.
"People were outside on their phones. We tried to get people inside the pub.
“People were only just starting to sit down, it was early on in the evening.”
Michelle said the victim was not a regular at the pub, where floral tributes were laid yesterday, but had been there before, “mostly in the summer”.
As 30 people were seated for dinner, another 20 customers were in the bar as the incident took place.
