“There was a bloodied-handprint left on my driveway.”

Ms Stevens described the scene as confronting.

“Watching a guy bleed out on your front lawn is not what anyone wants to see,” she said.

“The sheer presence of the police and the police activity, the stress and commotion of it all was full on.”
