A brave witness shared her harrowing experience of witnessing a horrific incident that occurred just outside her neighbourhood. She recounted the moment she saw her neighbour slumped over the steering wheel of his car, a victim of a brutal shooting. The incident, which took place on Sunday night, left an eight-year-old girl in critical condition as she was caught in the crossfire of what seemed to be a targeted attack.
According to the police, the suspect, a 22-year-old man, was arrested shortly after the shooting which took place in Southern Row, Kensal Rise. The witness, Terhas Ghebremichael, a 58-year-old foster carer, shared her account with Metro. She mentioned that she didn't hear the shots as she had her hair dryer on, but received a text from a neighbour and immediately ran to offer her help to the family, despite the danger.
Terhas described the scene she encountered, with her neighbour slumped over the steering wheel and his partner and two kids getting out of the car. She approached the woman, whom she knew, and offered her assistance. She also mentioned that the family consists of two teenage boys and two younger girls, all of whom are very pleasant and decent individuals. Terhas was deeply shocked by the incident and couldn't sleep that night, as it gave her nightmares. She also expressed her hope for the gunman to be caught and brought to justice for such a terrible attack on an innocent family.
The witness also shared her concern for the family, stating that they might not be able to return to their home until the perpetrator is caught. She emphasized that the shooting happened right on their doorstep, making it even more horrifying and traumatic for the family.
In another witness account, a 42-year-old neighbour expressed his shock and confusion over the attack. He mentioned that the family is a typical, friendly one who would do anything for anyone. He has known them for years and can vouch for their decency and kindness. He also shared that the children are well-mannered and the father is a good bloke. The incident came as a total mystery to him, as there was nothing that would have raised any suspicion or alarm bells.
A 64-year-old witness also shared her experience, stating that she heard the shots and a woman screaming about her baby being shot. She added that it makes her sick to think about it now. She also mentioned that one of the neighbours went out with a duvet to cover the injured.
Another witness, a father of five, shared his account of hearing loud bangs, initially thinking it was just fireworks. He expressed his fear for his own children, especially his nine-year-old daughter, in light of the incident.
Witnesses also reported hearing multiple gunshots and a scream, presumably from a child. A 34-year-old retail worker shared her experience, stating that she heard several shots with a gap in between, followed by a desperate cry that sounded like a child. She described it as a terrifying experience and expressed her shock and concern for the victims.
A 32-year-old neighbour also shared his disbelief and shock towards the incident. He mentioned that the family is a down-to-earth one, consisting of a mum, dad, and four children. He also added that the dad had gone missing for a few months recently, but he saw their car with the windows shot out, which was a shocking sight for him.
The community is deeply disturbed by this horrific incident and hopes for the speedy recovery of the victims. The police are doing their best to catch the perpetrator and ensure the safety of the neighbourhood.
