Two people are dead after a gunman stormed a high-rise construction site in downtown Auckland early on Thursday morning, shooting at terrified workers as New Zealand prepares to the Fifa Women’s World Cup this week.
At least two people have been killed and six injured following a shooting near the Women’s World Cup hotel in Auckland
‘I want to reiterate that there is no wider national security threat. This appears to be the action of one individual.’ Police commissioner Andrew Coster said the gunman was a 24-year-old who had previously worked at the building site, and the motivation for the shooting appeared connected to his work there.
He said it was not yet clear if police had shot the gunman or he had killed himself. He said the gunman did not have a gun licence and so should not have been in possession of a weapon.
