A resident who lives on the road and witnessed the police response told the SNJ shortly after the incident: "First I heard all these loud bangs, and my dog went nuts.
"So I went up and looked out the window. I saw all these police cars, and police with guns.
"I'm slightly below street level. I saw as many as four to six police cars, some left and others arrived over time. Now I only see one police car and one police van."
Today the resident said a police officer has still been guarding the scene on Kings Road.
"Earlier I saw someone dressed head to toe in white coverups in the doorway," they said.
