sorry to hear about your friend mudstomper (yes I saw the news report and think I know who you mean)….

yep there is a lot of fear and anger – every girl/woman I know wants a personal attack alarm now but at the same time feel that they are powerless…

doubtless there is a lot of anger amongst the blokes (either their partners/brothers/dads as well as just normal lads) they will become suspicious of outsiders – I reckon this will also have a knock on effect in an increase of violence (particularly hate crimes, as people will undoubtedly suspect that “foreign workers” are responsible) and just random outbursts of anger….

Everywhere I go I see police cars and some areas still have cordons on them (also because of the shootings at the garage night)

I expect the cops will catch whoever did it eventually due to good surveillance and forensics; but the after-effects will last for a long time, including increased prohibition and social control as many “normal people” are still arguing “drug addiction is the cause of all this”…
