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

One of the regulars at the chippy at the centre of this incident tells me it's a family run business. He says: 'They're a very nice family.' 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
The cordon is around Glodwick Chippy in Minton Street. Windows are damaged, one has been removed Manchester News MEN
