Alright, let’s dive into the chaotic scene that unfolded in Co Down. So, on a wild Sunday night in the High Street area of Bangor, police were called to deal with a firearms incident. Videos started popping up on social media showing armed response officers approaching a man with their guns out. Like, talk about intense, right? Around 30 officers armed to the teeth were on the scene, trying to handle the situation.
Residents reported hearing shots and loud bangs, but the police haven’t confirmed if any shots were actually fired. Alliance MLA Connie Egan had some thoughts on the matter, saying it’s not cool to be sharing those “distressing” videos floating around on social media. She even went on BBC Radio Ulster to express her concerns, stating that it was a super concerning incident. She thanked the PSNI for handling it well, ensuring no injuries happened to the public. But man, lots of folks were on edge about the whole thing.
There’s still police tape up on Monday morning as officers continue to suss out what went down. The public has been asked to steer clear of the High Street area for now. In a late-night update, the PSNI mentioned that they had detained a man in connection with the incident. Ulster Unionist MLA Alan Chambers gave a shoutout to the PSNI for their handling of the situation, highlighting that no one got hurt. Phew, talk about a close call. Stay tuned for more updates on this crazy ordeal.
