On the day of the attack, Caroline was working from home as she often did. Realising police were arriving outside, she ventured downstairs to find an armed police officer pointing a gun at her through her open backdoor. In the days that followed, police shut down the usually quiet cul-de-sac and set up a cordon which lasted for weeks.
