The 29-year-old said: “I heard two shots and then heard a woman screaming. I looked out of my door and saw a silver car and by the time I walked out I heard a car skidding away. We are not safe here any more.

“Our customers are scared, they don’t want to walk in here.

“There were women and children around and this happened in broad daylight.”

By 3pm, worried parents gathered at the edge of the cordon to collect their children from school.
