Eyewitnesses told LBC what happened when the gunman walked across the bowling lanes and declared "game's over everyone."
Liam Roberts said: "There was a man holding a gun above his head with a grey beard. Everyone was screaming and shouting, just trying to get out.
"I ran myself, obviously I wasn't going to stop and watch.
"I think there's five or fewer people in there. I know a lot of people got out.
"I'm a bit shook up really, you don't expect it. I'm just happy to get out, I just hope the other people in the get out safe and he does the right thing.
"He had a shotgun, I thought it was a sword at first. He came out the front with a shotgun telling everyone to move away, no shots were fired."
