Residents evacuated after Woking shooting

The Woking News and Mail quote an unnamed local resident as saying:

My son woke up me at around 11pm saying that armed police were running around everywhere and that he thought someone had been shot.

By then the shot had gone off so I came down in my dressing gown to have a look and there were police absolutely everywhere.

Paramedics were working on a man on the ground and eventually an ambulance turned up – it was a bit of a shock.

At about midnight we were evacuated to Holy Trinity Church hall and got back home just gone 2am.

I woke up this morning at around 5.30am and this whole area was cordoned off – they’ve obviously been very busy over night.
