Our colleagues at BBC Radio Manchester have been speaking to Gareth, an eyewitness, who says he was driving his delivery van at the time of the incident.
He says he was held back in traffic, assumed it was a “normal collision”, but as he got closer he saw a man “bleeding out on the floor”.
Gareth says he saw another man “laying on the floor” in front of a car, and he could hear people shouting.
He then describes seeing another person, a man, who he says had a knife and was “stabbing the window” of a nearby building “trying to get in”.
“Within seconds, the police arrived, they gave him a couple of warnings, he didn’t listen so they opened fire,” Gareth explains, saying the man holding the knife then went down on the floor.
The man then “started getting back up and they [the police] shot him again”, Gareth says – describing it as “nerve-racking” to see.
