Man arrested in West Oakland shooting | Media Pyro

A 43-year-old man has been arrested following a shooting in the west Auckland suburb of New Lynn – which left him with a serious leg injury and later saw a house surrounded.

The suspect will appear in the Waitakere District Court on November 11 for unlawful possession of a firearm.

Police are still actively investigating the incident where one person was seriously shot.

Emergency services responded to an incident at around 9.40am yesterday at a house in Hutchinson Ave after reports of a man firing a gun.

The man was taken to a nearby Great North Road petrol station where staff treated him until paramedics arrived and he was taken to hospital with serious injuries. ”Just after 1pm, police located a vehicle at the Kelston address which matched the vehicle. “He was seen leaving the Hutchinson Ave property this morning,” a police spokesman said.

Members of the armed offenders squad entered the Kelston property and five people located at the property had earlier assisted police.

Police officers remained at the scene last night while they examined the footage.
