Words In the Neighborhood
A resident, Mr Budd claimed that despite the area being one of the more exclusive, there were plenty of ‘drug dealers’ around.
He said the house outside which the man was shot had been turned into a ‘crack den’, leading him to believe the dead man may have moved in that world.
‘There’s a crack house down the end of the road, two doors down from the house that was burned out. It’s been a crack house for ages.
‘They stand out and do all the deals on the corner. There’s lots and lots of drug dealers around here, he said.
His daughter had a narrow escape as Mr. Budd revealed that his young daughter had been on her way home at the time of the shooting, and he told her to stay elsewhere.
