He said: "I'm very sad to think that someone has raised arms in such a sleepy village. It should have been such a peaceful day.
"Red Lodge is probably the biggest village in west Suffolk. To an extent, Elms Road is separated from the rest of the village.
"It's not the sort of place you would expect this to happen. Lots of families live in Red Lodge - it's a good place to have your first home.
