Marie Hipperson, who has lived on Holyhead road for four years, said there had never been any trouble in the area in that time.
Her 20-year-old son, Connor Hipperson, said he was watching television about 20 minutes before police first arrived and heard shouting.
"I heard raised voices, blokes' voices, but nothing out of the ordinary," he said. "I didn't think anything of it initially, but then later I came out and it was just carnage."
