He also confirmed that the man had been wearing an ankle bracelet monitor and was the subject of a home detention sentence, reportedly for domestic violence, but had been granted an exemption to go to work.
"Thankfully many people were able to escape the building, but I know that for those who hid or remained trapped in the building, this was a terrifying experience," he added. Norway captain Maren Mjelde said people were woken by the sound of a helicopter hovering outside the team's hotel."FIFA has a good security system at the hotel, and we have our own security officer in the squad. Everyone seems calm and we are preparing as normal for the game tonight."Members of the Philippines Women's World Cup squad were seen leaving their hotel following the shooting nearby.
He told reporters:"Clearly with the FIFA World Cup kicking off this evening, there are a lot of eyes on Auckland. "The government has spoken to FIFA organizers this morning and the tournament will proceed as planned. I want to reiterate that there is no wider national security threat. This appears to be the action of one individual."
