Restaurants locked doors to keep people safe
Restaurant worker Bethany Connelly said local businesses locked doors to keep people safe as the incident unfolded.
Describing the incident as “not normal”, she told Yorkshire Live: “It was really scary, because obviously, you don’t get this happening in Leeds. It’s not normal. You hear about this stuff in America, but not on your doorstep.
“It was really scary. We had to tell everyone at the restaurant what was happening, and we had to say ‘can you please stay indoors? We are going to lock the doors just in case.’
“We have got a back kitchen, and all of our chefs were told to come in and we stopped service for a bit. It was really quite scary.”
