People commented on the story on the Examiner’s Facebook page.
Nikki Hanson said “It’s a very quiet private housing estate where this happened. Nothing normally happens down there, just goes to show that violent crimes are happening everywhere.”
Amy Jane Visona added: “Makes me mad!! These helicopters rely on donations to help people who need it. Knife crime is getting out of hand.”
