Parents returned from dropping their children off at school to find armed police had descended on their street.
Curate Road in Anfield was sealed off by police on Friday as armed officers surrounded a house. One man, who did not want to be named, said his partner was sat having a coffee when she saw armed police searching their garden.
He said: "My Mrs was having a coffee and saw his [a police officer] head turn. He's got a gun and he's sat in a bush and my cat is rubbing his head against him."
