There's still one forensics officer inside the chippy. I'm told they're reviewing the CCTV. The others have left, but there are still some police officers at the scene where a cordon remains in place Manchester News MEN

I've just spoken to a man who used to live in Minton Street. He said the area has 'calmed down' in recent years but he was not surprised to hear about the incident. He said: 'In the past 10 years, it's been a really nice area. It's calmed down.' Manchester News MEN

I've just spoken to a man associated with the chippy. He says he wasn't inside when it happened and doesn't know how many people were, but says that, as far as he knows, no one was hurt. We're still waiting for the police to confirm the details of the incident Manchester News MEN

Safe to say the chippy won't be reopening today, although people here who appear to be associated with the business are keen to get in and clean up Manchester News MEN

There's a crowd of around 10 men near the police cordon. They tell me they weren't here when the incident happened, but they live nearby and are keen to find out. Some say they are just being nosey. One man said he came here to pick up some food from the chippy Manchester News MEN
