The number of people killed in Manchester so far this year has now climbed to 46.

This, after gunmen opened fire on patrons inside a bar in Hillside, Knockpatrick last evening, killing one man and wounding another.

The deceased has been identified as Ricardo Williams.

The Manchester police are probing the incident, which has heightened fear among citizens.

One resident lamented that the movements and leisure of law-abiding people are being affected by violence in Knockpatrick.
