Rustling trees, a plane passing overhead, the distant hum of traffic. That’s all you can hear from this quiet estate in north Manchester.
The stillness makes it hard to believe the chaos that unfolded here last week. Police descended on Evanton Walk in Harpurhey after bullets were blasted into a home.
Most living on the estate were stunned by the shooting in the early hours of September 23. Others weren’t as surprised. But they all agreed gun crime in Greater Manchester is a major cause for concern – with one neighbour fearing he could soon end up a victim himself.
“Everyone stays out of the way as far as guns are concerned,” the 80-year-old told the Manchester Evening News . “At the moment, it’s quiet. There was a gang knocking about a few weeks ago but right now it’s not a problem.
“There isn’t usually trouble around here. A shooting isn’t normal, but you don’t know whether you’ll be the next victim.”
The shooting happened on a row of homes off Shieldborn Drive and Carisbrook Street at around 2am. Harpurhey councillor Pat Karney confirmed shots had been fired at a property in a targeted attack.
No injuries were reported but a crime scene was set up and police remained in the area for much of the day. A spokesman for GMP confirmed a 29-year-old man had been arrested in relation to the incident but was later bailed.
He was out on licence at the time of the incident for another serious offence and has since been returned to prison.
Darius Korzeniewski has lived on the estate for six years. The 36-year-old says he felt safe in the area until he had his car stolen last month.
“When I moved, it was okay,” he added. “Then the teenagers started growing. They don’t want to go to work and they need money. That’s what I think.
